Step 1: Prepare artwork

Download the graphics above and import it into your graphics software. Adjust as necessary.

Step 2: Send to the laser

Send the job to the laser with the correct parameters for your machine’s wattage. See the laser parameter section above for the specific settings we used or consult your owner’s manual for recommended settings for your machine’s wattage.

For the fleece material – and most fabrics in general – start with high speed and low power settings. We also recommend reducing your DPI to 300 to eliminate excess burning.

Step 3: Add finishing touches

Wash any residue from the laser off the tag or collar. No washing or cleaning is needed for the jacket.
