I try to do most of a sheet and I print it out a few different sizes to have some extras around and to be able to fit it the best possible way. Print out your image onto mailing labels or sticker paper. You have to be careful not to go too fine into the details because some of the paper gets damaged while you are engraving, you will see what I mean when you try it, just trust me for now. You can dress it up with some fancy art around the name but since that is probably a good way to get myself beat up at work, I'll just make it plain here. Just remember that you are going to use an outline (at least in the beginning) I tried a fill once and found it very time consuming and hard to make it look good. Use your favorite imaging software to create your name in just about any font you want to use.
