Hi there -

Hi there -

I am working on some very fine laser engraving of many ten of thousands of digits - digits only 2mm high.

Artwork size 1m by 1m. The engraving will be done in a number of passes and is expected to take many hours.

My problem though is not with the machine, but getting the software to accept the artwork size.

At 300PPI, the JPEG is 148.8MB. As the text is so small I am worried about going lower.

PDF's are unsupported, Illustrator files do not seem to load - this would seem the most logical option. The laser is an HPC / Laserscript laser.

Are there any work around? How have people in the past loaded big files into the software/machine?

Cheers!
B
