Resolution Settings
Uses for different resolution settings:
75 – 150 DPI
These resolution values are typically used for non-production purposes where you
want to experiment with image location, or if you want to quickly produce a
rough draft.
200 DPI
Some users like 200 DPI for engraving photographs that have been processed
through PhotoGrav or other photo editing software designed for the laser. Other
users prefer 300 DPI for this style of photographs.
300 DPI
This resolution can be good for production work where image quality needs to be
good, but not great. Many users will use 300 DPI on plastic and other materials
that don’t require a lot of power in combination with large block lettering.
Attempting to produce really fine detail with 300 DPI is not recommended.
400 DPI
This resolution value is ideal for many applications. It combines very good image
quality with fast engraving times. Many users like 400 DPI for all of their work.
600 DPI
When really fine detail or overall excellent results are required, most users choose
600 DPI.
1200 DPI
This resolution is used for projects that require the best engraving quality
possible, although it’s seldom used because under normal circumstances most
people cannot visually discern the difference between 1200 and 600 DPI. There
are however some users that appreciate this high level of quality and are willing to
take twice as long to produce an image at 1200 DPI as it would take them at 600
DPI.
