Recommended Settings + Pro Tips You’ll Love ✨
Ever wondered how those amazing grayscale portraits or intricate logos get marked on metal using a laser? If you’ve got a MAGIC-L3 MOPA Fiber Laser, you’re already halfway to creating jaw-dropping results. But as with any art, the magic is in the settings (pun intended 😏).
Let’s walk through how to mark photos on metal beautifully and efficiently ,without pulling your hair out.
📸 Why Photo Marking with a Laser Is Tricky (But Worth It)
Photo engraving isn’t like basic text or logo marking. Why?
It requires high detail and fine contrast
Grayscale must be translated into dot patterns or laser intensity
Metal reacts differently to laser power, frequency, and speed
If the settings are off, your photo might look like a smudge… or worse, a ghost 😱
But when it’s done right? You get something like this:

Beautiful, permanent, and unforgettable.

🎯 Pro Tips
🔍 1. Start with a Great Photo
High contrast, sharp edges, and no busy backgrounds. The better the source, the better the mark.
🌈 2. Adjust Brightness & Contrast
Use Photoshop or GIMP to tweak your image. Make it more laser-friendly before importing it into your software.

Use a scrap metal piece to run a 2x2cm sample. Trust us, it saves hours later.
