I suspect that the ‘1K, 2K, etc’ is just a way that LaserPecker has decided to name what is commonly called a line interval. I’m not sure what specific line intervals those named settings apply to - but with galvo devices, low resolution would be somewhere around 500 lines per inch, medium around 1000, and fine around 1500.

This page has some good info to review about dot spacing (akin to line interval - just another way to explain the physical resolution you’re applying, and when to know it is diminishing returns)

Image engraving guidelines

Engraving photo-realistic images is one of the cooler things lasers can do, but it’s harder than most people realize. The key things people get wrong when engraving images are: Going too fast Setting the DPI too high There are three types of Lasers generally supported by LightBurn Glass tube CO2 lasers RF excited CO2 lasers Diode lasers The first, glass tube CO2, uses gas excited by high-voltage power, almost like a neon tube. When the controller tells the laser to fire, it sends a signal…

Hi Colin
Thank you for your recommendation. I will go through the details
