When preparing for laser cutting and engraving projects, it's important to consider the artwork setup fee. This fee covers the time required to convert your designs into a format compatible with the laser machine. The setup process includes ensuring that the artwork is properly scaled, optimized for cutting or engraving, and free of any issues that could affect the final product. By investing in this initial setup, you can achieve high-quality results and a smoother production process, ultimately enhancing the overall outcome of your project.
