You must have some image editing software which will allow you to create either a halftone or black and white contrast image.
LaserCAM 2D Design and QuickCAM 2d Design have facilities to modify a bitmap image in order to create a black and white contrasting image which will engrave very nicely. NB, LaserCAM is now being supplied free with every Laser cutting / engraving machine that we supply.
See these screenshots of the software in action:
Load the image into QuickCAM or LaserCAM
Use the contour tool to set contrast level
Adjust the contrast until your black and white image looks OK - you may also need to use the invert option - depending on the material you will be using
From the contour image window, you can re-save the black and white image as a new bitmap - use this new image then to print out to the laser.... the finished result lasered into two colour mounting card:
