Im having trouble with the whole process.
I have an order from a friend that has bought something from me every year for the last 5 years . Now this is first year for engraving. All have been wood carvings thats what paid for engraving tools.
I haveTi braclet blanks cut at 6x1.
I traced a blank on drawing paper.
Drew the design at size of blank. Scanned then saved. to computer. Printed on Dell Lazer printer.
After all that, the scanner or the printer doesnt print at same size as drawn.
I have gotton close with Photoshop elements but I have the damm thing stretched and bent out of shape. Looks like somebody sat on my scroll design.
The other night I was throwing paper away as fast as it was coming out. Wife just shakes her head.
I have paint,Inkscape,gimp,Photoshop Elements.
Can someone tell me what step im missing
