Operational Process

STEP01

Prepare & Position the Material

For better laser marking results, place the scratch paper as flat as possible on the laser bed. A flat surface helps the engraving stay sharp and consistent.


Secure the paper gently so it does not shift during engraving, but avoid pressing too hard or damaging the scratch surface.

STEP02

Import & Adjust the Design File

Import the lace butterfly design into LightBurn and check whether your scratch paper size is large enough.


Double-check the layout and decide whether you want to add or remove any design elements. Make sure the engraving parameters are set correctly before starting.

Set the Correct Laser Focus

Accurate focusing is important for achieving clean engraving details on scratch paper. If your machine has auto focus, use it for quick setup. For manual focusing, lower the laser head with the focus stick until it touches the scratch paper surface at the correct angle.

STEP04

Start Engraving

Use the Frame function to outline the laser engraving area. Make sure the projected frame matches your scratch paper and the design stays within the material boundary.


Once everything is aligned, start the laser job. Stay near the machine while it’s running and monitor the engraving progress. Keep an eye out for excessive smoke, alarms, or any movement of the paper that could affect the result.
