We use high quality absolute black marble that is specially imported from China to fit our engraving needs. During the engraving process, the laser permanently etches into the marble creating the desired shading effect of the picture and wording as white on the black marble. All the pieces are approximately ¼ inches thick. The quality of your picture will determine the outcome of the engraved image.
When choosing a photo, a few things to consider are:
- a larger image is preferred
- if you scan your picture, use the setting of at least 600 dpi (dots per inch)
- scanning a picture that has been copied off of the original will lower the quality. If possible, use the original picture for the scan or emailing to us.
