Etching Design Services
Having over 20 yrs of etching experience with extensive Photoshop knowledge ranging from the monument industry all the way to web design and even into the animation industry. There really isn't any etching project too big or too small nor too extreme or too subtle that we can't handle and deliver a breathtaking image for your machine to etch. Whether it is a diamond tip or laser style.
How it works: If sending us an image, we require the image to be as high dpi resolution as possible to ensure great quality. A good starting point is 250dpi. Lower dpi can and usually will result in grainy etchings. It is typically best to allow us to locate an image and acquire a high 600+dpi resolution of the image so that the etching will be absolutely breathtaking when finished. We will lower the dpi when finished, however, it is best to go down in dpi then to go up as increasing the dpi (Dots Per Inch) forces the image program to "fill in" the dots, which is why etchings get blurry when doing so. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask us. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
