In today's episode I'm going to be showing you how to invert any graphic for laser engraving. It doesn't matter if you're using a Fiber, CO2, Diode or UV laser, Ezcad or Lightburn, this tutorial will work for you. The process is pretty simple once you get the hang of it and you'll have way more control over how your final engraving looks once you master this skill in Adobe Illustrator or any other vector editor. Enjoy!
