Trouble with burning in greyscale

Take a few and watch this video by Laser Everything on photo engraving … You need to have both the correct interval and a usable dither…

It’s done on a fiber but the technique works with any laser and any material…

Check out some, in this recent thread by @Bulldog on his fiber…


A minimum power value is only used when doing vectors. This is where the machine usually doesn’t stop, but slows to turn corners and/or direction.

When you scan, you have overscan which eliminates the need for a minimum value since the head is up to speed when it goes into the image.

You can see this, in red, when you enable show transversal moves in the preview window.


I believe your maximum speed, from the TwoTrees site

Engraving Speed 10000 mm/min

166mm/s.


You need to realize what you want to do is probably the toughest type of laser engraving there is.

Good luck - have fun
