What image resolution is best?#

We recommend high-resolution images for engraving but understand not all pictures supplied by customers will reach our recommended resolution of 600 dpi (dots per inch). As part of the conversion of images for laser engraving, we will optimize each and every image to get the best results possible. However, the resulting engraving ultimately depends on the quality of the source file. We highly recommend that customers correspond with us before engraving, and we will present by email a simulated rough estimate representative of how the resulting engraving will be. As laser-engraved images are not the same as photos on a computer screen that uses anti-aliasing to present images, some variances between the two are expected and perfectly normal.

What email should I use with orders?#

  1. customer chooses product and makes purchase using PayPal (International) or money transfer (for purchases within Singapore).
  2. Upon confirmation of receipt of funds, we will ask the customer to send us the image for engraving.
  3. We will process and optimize the image and reply with a simulated engraving that serves as a rough guide for the outcome of the engraving.
  4. Upon confirmation by the customer for the go-ahead, we will then proceed to engrave the item. Once engraved, no further changes can be made, and any refund, return, or exchange is no longer possible.
