Choose a clean, dry stone with a fairly flat marking area.

Place it securely in the machine so it stays stable during marking, and make sure the surface you want to mark is facing the laser head.

Import the alien design into your marking software and adjust the size to fit the stone surface.

Position the artwork carefully and check that it sits within the usable marking area.

Set the correct focus before marking.

On the Aurora Lite, you can use the red-dot focus assist or the focus stick. If the stone surface is uneven, level it as much as possible and use manual focus for better accuracy.

Use the Frame function first to check the marking position on the stone.

Once the outline looks right, start the marking process and stay nearby to monitor the job as the alien image develops.

When marking is finished, remove the stone and wipe away any dust from the surface.

Check the final image, and if needed, gently clean the stone again so the alien design looks clear and ready for display.
