Mercury II User Manual
areas will be a collection of dots with varying density.
The resolution and depth of these halftone areas can be adjusted with the DPI setting
found on the Options page. Please note that selecting the Black & White mode will add a
new Raster page to the menu. The Black & White mode dithering settings can be changed
from the Raster page. (Please refer to the Raster section below for details). Experiment
with different dithering settings to attain the desired results.
TIP
The Black & White mode interprets the processed image by the varying colors and
shades. For the best results, we suggest you convert the image to a grayscale image
with your graphics software prior to engraving in the Black & White mode.
NOTE
Selecting the Black & White mode will enable the Raster page on the LaserPro
Mercury II Print Driver, allowing you to adjust advanced stamp-related settings.
Manual Color Fill: Select this mode when you would like to designate specific power and
speed settings and link them to certain colors of your image. The LaserPro Mercury II print
driver allows a maximum of 16 pen parameters to be set.
3D Mode: Select this mode to attain a sculptured 3D effect on your engraving. By using
images that have a range of gray areas, the LaserPro Mercury II print driver can manipulate
the image to give it an added depth, by linking the laser power (depth of engraving) to
specific colors. The settings can be adjusted through the DPI setting (Option page) and
PPI, power and speed settings (Pen page).
Stamp Mode:
Select this mode when you would like to engrave stamps. The stamp mode
is one of the more dynamic functions of the LaserPro Mercury II. Due to the unique
engraving nature when engraving a stamp, the stamp production requires different
operational steps than most engraving or cutting operations.
NOTE
Selecting the Stamp mode will enable the Stamp page on the Mercury II Print Driver,
allowing you to adjust advanced stamp-related settings.
DPI (Option Page)
[DEFAULT SETTING: 500]
DPI (dots-per-inch) represents the number of times the laser will fire over a one-inch path.
This setting determines the image resolution and quality when performing raster engraving
functions. Higher DPI settings result in cleaner and deeper engravings, but require more
time to complete. Lower DPI settings result in coarser and shallower engravings, but
require less time to complete. The LaserPro Mercury II offers 8 DPI options: 125, 250, 300,
500, 600 and 1000, experiment with different settings to get your desired effect.
