PREPARING YOUR FILES-
PHOTOS & GRAPHICS
Bitmap images need to be in black and white and will need to have a a good difference between shadow and light and be in black and white.
If the photo doesn't have good contrast the engraving will not work.
STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?
Please give Studio T a ring and ask. We are more than happy to help.
We can offer a preparation service but this incurs a fee.
