Overburn on Start and Stop

Im getting a little bit of an overburn on design elements where the cut starts and stops on a design element. Any adjustment to stop this. Is that what overscan is for?

Loren, I’m experiencing what appears as shadow marks yesterday when doing red tumblers at 2.5%. I cut the overscan down to 0% and they went away except when the laser traveled between two parts of the image. These marks are unexpectable.

Hi Loren,

What material are you cutting?
What is the speed and power of the cut? (Include units e.g. mm/m)

The overscanning setting can help with overburning at the edges of a shape if you are using ‘Fill’ mode , however it sounds as if you are using ‘Line’ mode?

If in ‘Line’ mode, try sending one simple 50mm square to the laser using the same power and speed settings as your current project, take a photo of the result showing the overburn, then use ‘Save GCode’, save as the .txt file type, open the file and copy/paste the contents here please.
