Lazer Cutting

We had a lazer cutting slot booked this morning to create a 3D version of
our logo that we could use to emboss onto our business cards.
We were going to use wood but we found some acrylic which we thought
would work better and not get damaged by water whilst we were embossing.
It took a few attempts but we got the right size we wanted.

Kirsty and Niall then got the cut out letters and stuck them onto another
piece of acrylic to create the stamp for embossing.
The first tried wetting the front of the mount baord, in order to give a better impression and put it in the press. However, this wasn't very successful, when they removed the card from the press, some of the paper stuck to the face of the lettering and also removed a few from the stamp.

They then went for a different attempt and went back to lazer cut, they spoke to 
the technician and he told them to create a jpeg black and white image (with the type in white and background black) then rasterized this on the laser cutter it should work. 
This worked a lot better and they went back to the print room and tried to emboss  the logo again.
However we had forgot to reverse the type so when we embossed it the text was the wrong way round!

We are going back to lazer cut tomorrow and do it again, at least we know
what to do this time.
