Do facial details come through well enough for engraving?

Yes — eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and hair are rendered as clean vector line work. The detail level is well suited to laser engraving on wood, acrylic, and slate.

Can I make pop art line portraits from portrait files?

Yes — the bold line work of a portrait converts well into a multi-layer stencil. Cut each tonal layer from stencil film on a vinyl cutter for reusable pop art prints.
