When engraving very small objects, top speed cannot be achieved because acceleration and
deceleration of the motion system requires time and distance. The laser system will automatically adjust
itself to a maximum engraving speed that it can achieve due to the size and position of the graphic. This
is why you might notice that there might be no difference in engraving time on certain graphics whether
you choose 100% speed or less.
The following materials were tested with the laser system set at an Image density of 5 except where
noted otherwise. The following pages will fully describe the results of these tests and will offer helpful
hints when choosing materials, setting parameters, and using different techniques to provide the best
laser cutting and engraving results.
Please use these settings as a guideline or starting point, in most cases these
settings should work out well, but sometimes may have to be adjusted to produce
