I assume it’s the 20W fiber part you’re using. Check out this thread, done with 60W MOPA, but should be doable with your 20W, especially with aluminum coated cards.

The laser everything on photo engraving is about the best out there. He advises on his machine settings. Your image doesn’t seem to have detail being less than 100x100 in size?
