If you don't see the material you're looking for, test some of the existing settings on a scrap or the back of your material to find the one that works best. 

Recommended materials for Engraving Tip

The following materials have been tested and work wonderfully with Engraving Tip. We'll continue to add more to this list. 

Important: When loaded in the machine, there is a gap of up to 3mm between the mat and mat guides on either side. As a result, the location of the engraving design in Design Space will not align perfectly with your blank on the mat. This is especially noticeable when engraving on the edge of an object or when engraving on small objects. We recommend keeping all art more than 5mm from all edges of your object. We do not recommend engraving on objects smaller than 1 in (2.5 cm) in any direction.

Note: Engraving Tool is not intended for use with glass at this time.
