Second, what DPI and speed are you creating this image at? Even with clustering enabled, the board will still only process about 2500 GCode instructions per second, which works out to 250 mm/sec at 0.1mm dots (254 DPI).
Right Click the image and choose ‘Properties’, then look at the details:
That will give you the resolution of the photo. The resolution divided by the output size is how many dots per unit will be engraved. If you were to output the image I have selected here at 4.4 inches wide, it would be 1000 dots per inch.
Thankyou for taking thime
Picture i tryed too engrave , was about 100 dpi and
i set the speed too 200 , and it was bad engravings and not going smooth.
I use one touch photo too make the Picture conversion and use "pass through "
in Lightburn
Is there any way i can check if the cluster firmware came in correctly ?
i have tryed other Pictures as well , and all was the same behavior.
Save some gcode and look at it in a text editor. If the gcode has lots of colons in it after the S parameter then cluster is enabled in LightBurn. If the output looks correct, then it’s working. If the output has a lot of strange ‘streaks’ in it, then cluster firmware isn’t running.
A 100 DPI picture at 200 mm/sec would work fine even without cluster, so the DPI probably isn’t what you think it is.
The Picture bee much higher dpi when i converted it in “one touch photo”
the first Picture is 3691 x 4921 converted in one touch photo ,
and imported directly in too Lightburn with bad engraving result.
when i converted down that Picture wery much i could set the speed much higher.
but then it was a wery small and Little Picture .
How can i use one touch photo with succesful in Lightburn when it converts the Picture so big ?
Run it slower, or set it to lower DPI if One Touch gives you that option. As an alternative, skip One-Touch completely and use the settings in LightBurn.
Import the original image into LightBurn. Select it, right-click, choose ‘Show Properties’. Then set the following values:
Gamma : 0.8
Enhance Radius: 4
Enhance Amount: 150
Adjust contrast and brightness if necessary
Then, in the cut settings, set:
300 DPI
200 mm/sec
Stucki dither
set appropriate power (try 7% as a starting point)
You don’t need One Touch photo to get good results.
