Bright white engrave on slate. Invert your image in the Glowforge App (use the 'invert' button in the artwork panel). Wipe with a damp cloth after to reveal contrast. Slate is forgiving — hard to over-engrave, but higher power does increase brightness of the mark.

"Used it with a Glowforge — engraved beautifully with no changes. I will be purchasing more digital downloads from this shop."

Anna

★★★★★

"I was struggling with lining up my NFC business cards. I was able to not only line them up much better but also do multiple cards at once — making that job so much easier."

Camp

"Excellent quality and design. Cut clean and neat!"

LYNN

Bruce

★★★★★

"Excellent quality. Item as described. Expectations exceeded."

Michael

★★★★★

"This template made my slate coasters so much easier. 4×4 coasters from Michaels drop in easily and are easy to remove. Def worth it."
