Hallo,
I’m engraving some coloured eco-leather. I’m Using a Diode Laser, fixed focus.
When I didi it a couple of months ago, I was getting a good result, with 2500 mm/m @ 10% power.
Today, at the same speed I need to Output 20% Power to get the same shade of blue.
I attach a material test from back then and from today. Same DPI, same n. of Passes… what other settings could have effect this difference?
Thank you.
If the leather is from a different batch, it will almost certainly respond differently to the same laser power/speed settings.
Also, lasers aren’t forever: if you’ve been having lots of fun lasering during the last “couple of months”, the laser diode may be wearing out.
If the machine does not have air assist, the lens can also be dirty.
