1-Touch Laser Photo

1-Touch Laser Photo is an innovative product for converting digital photographs (BMP, JPEG, PNG or TIFF formats) into bitmap files that can be used to indelibly mark or engrave the image into materials such as hard wood, stone or metal to create high value products. This transforms an ordinary photograph into a professional quality engraving. Prior to 1-Touch this was possible only by experimenting with halftone screens, dithering patterns, and laser settings an expensive and time consuming methodology. 1-Touch automates this process and provides these benefits:

How It Works

1-Touch Laser Photo transforms digital photographs into single bit raster graphics that are suitable for laser marking and engraving. The software does this by applying the bitmap screen that is the most suitable for the material that is being marked or engraved. 1-Touch also automatically applies image enhancements that have been developed by the experts at ULS. The finished bitmap is then exported to the laser system for marking or engraving the chosen material.
