Hello everyone, I am new here and hope to learn a lot via this nice forum. I have a Longer ray5 10W for a few months now. I am trying to engrave photos on slate and vanvas. During this engraving, horizontal visible stripes appear. I have tried everything such as adjusting the wheels and belts correctly. But that makes no difference, I suspect it has to do with my settings in Lightburn. Can someone share his settings so that I have a starting point to continue. I proces my images on imagR website. My settings are now: speed 4800 power 35% overscanning 2.5% lineinterval 0.1000 dot widht correction 0.0.30 ---

I suggest you try out different line intervals as mentioned in our docs on how to achieve good image engravings: [5 Steps to Perfect Image Engravings - LightBurn Documentation](https://docs.lightburnsoftware.com/1.7/Guides/PerfectImageEngraving/) Don’t forget about utilizing the [preview window](https://docs.lightburnsoftware.com/1.7/Reference/Preview/#using-the-preview-window) before sending a job! Can we see a photo of what your laser did to your more material for more context? ---

To expand on this thread, while it doesn’t directly answer your question, you can find more insights about photos here: > [@How to engrave portraits in wood](https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/how-to-engrave-portraits-in-wood/169082/3): > > Engraving photos is the holy grail of lasering. It will take countless tries, hours of frustration and tons of wasted pieces until you will be completely satisfied and can handle a broad variety of materials and picture types. That being said, there are many excellent tutorials out there that will give you a starting point, but it won’t release you from the basic three steps of lasering: Test Test Testwink I collected some guides and videos here, but there are many more: ---
