TIP
Cutting / engraving depth are determined by a combination of power and speed. Slower
speed at higher power will produce deeper cuts and engravings, whereas higher speeds
at lower power will produce more shallow cuts and engravings.
PPI (Pen Page)
[DEFAULT SETTING: 400]
PPI (pulses-per-inch) represents the pulsing frequency of the laser pulse (fire) numbers within an inch
exclusive for vector cutting. Higher PPI settings may cause more melting, burning or charring on the edges
when cutting. Lower PPI settings may reduce this effect, but may result in a serrated looking edge. If you
drag the PPI slider to the maximum, the value will change to X. This completely disables the PPI control
and turns on the laser continuously without pulsing.
This disables the power ramp functionality, which automatically controls the PPI depending on the speed of
the laser carriage (such as vector cutting around the corner of a square).With PPI to X. the cutting corner
with slower speed will generate over burn or melting.
TIP
1. When cutting thicker materials, suggest setting PPI to X and slow speed setting to
melt/cut through the material
2. When cutting thin material or do kiss-cutting, it is recommended to set the PPI
value to 400 and slower speed setting to keep curve and line with consistent cutting
result, no over burn in corner.
Raster / Vector (Pen Page)
Checking the Raster checkbox will process only the raster functions for the areas of your design that
correspond to that particular "pen" color.
Checking the Vector checkbox will process the vector functions for the areas of your design that
correspond to that particular "pen" color.
As an example: a particular "pen" color may be assigned to areas in your design containing color fills
(raster engraving) and very thin lines (vector cutting). By checking / un-checking the Raster and Vector will
force the driver to process / ignore the color fills / thin lines.
