Machine setup
- Use a small lens. 1.5" or 2"
- Use an engraving table
- To avoid soiling the book, clean the table well or, if necessary, cover it with material and position the books on top.
Software setup
- Use a laser resolution of 333-500 dpi.
- To work with different parameter colors and thus engrave light and dark elements in an engraving job, set the color as raster.
This allows you to assign individual parameter colors.
Engraving parameter setup
For a light engraving, engrave with less power in the focus so that the material is bleached.
A dark engraving is achieved by engraving out of focus.
- Up to 10 mm Z-offset may be required for a color change
- In addition, a slower speed is advantageous for the light engraving, this gives the material time to change color with the large Z-offset
The easiest way to determine the parameters for the individual engraving shades is with the grayscale matrix.
Cleaning
- Wipe the book with a duster
- With a dark engraving, dab the engraving with a duster to avoid soiling the book
