Laser Engraving on Hand-Painted Canvas: Is It Worth the Trouble?
Can you laser engrave a canvas without spray paint? I tested it using hand-applied acrylic paint, and let’s just say it didn’t go exactly as planned.
In this video, I walk you through my full process:
✔️ Painting the canvas manually
✔️ Prepping MDF and canvas for engraving
✔️ Using XCS and the xTool S1 40W
✔️ The mistakes I made (bitmap settings, overburn, paint lifting)
✔️ What I’d do differently next time
✔️ The final engraving results
If you’re a laser DIYer, hobbyist, or just curious if this method works, this video is for you.
