Notes:
The Vintage Pen conversion produces fine engraved lines instead of solid fills, resulting in a clean, detailed engraving on glass.
Higher image contrast generally provides the best results.
Avoid images with very dark backgrounds or excessive fine detail, as they may reduce clarity on curved glass.
Position the ornament securely to prevent movement during engraving.
