I could convert it all to vector, but the final result won't look anything like the engraved version. The fonts need to be "filled" in with engraving. Alignment was difficult to figure out at first with this two-sided piece, but i finally figured out that if you start with a larger peice of acrylic, define 1 inner box, then put the cards in the inner box, you get pretty reliable results. engrave, cut the "inner box", flip that peice over without moving the larger acrylic sheet. engrave again, and then cut the individual cards. The real issue is the poor quality of the engraving when attempting to do the whole sheet or anything more than 1 card wide. so ive resorted to engraving them in collumns, but its tooo time consuming...i need a laser that can reliably engrave the whole sheet.
