Printer driver setting tips
There are many variables that can affect the cutting and engraving process such as differences in the thickness of the
material, density of the material, composition of the material, and the manufacturing processes used to make the material.
Power Setting
- Higher burns deeper. Too much power sacrifices detail. Has no effect on running time.
- Lower burns shallower. Too little power sacrifices detail. Has no effect on running time.
Speed Setting
- Higher saves time. Burns shallower and reduces detail.
- Lower increases time. Burns deeper but too deep may reduce detail.
PPI Setting
- Higher increases the burning or melting effect. Produces finer detail if Speed is not too fast. Has no effect on running
time and very little effect on depth.
- Lower decreases the burning or melting effect. Reduces image detail if set too low. Has no effect on running time and
very little effect on depth. Very low settings are used to perforate the material.
Rule of Thumb
- Doubling the Power doubles the depth and halving the Power halves the depth.
- Halving the Speed doubles the depth and doubling the Speed halves the depth.
NOTE
The LASER system can reach engraving speeds up to 78"
3/4
inches per second (2ms
-1
) when set to 100% speed in the driver.
When engraving very small objects, this 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.
