[DEFAULT SETTING: 0]
In the event that you are processing extremely fine and detailed designs requiring
near-microscopic edge-to-edge precision, you will need to adjust the image tuning setting.
To adjust this setting, we recommend that you engrave a small black square design as a
sample and apply a magnifying glass to the engraved results.
When you look at your engraved test square under a magnifying glass, you may notice the
edges of your square may be slightly offset, with every consecutive engraved even or odd
line protruding past the square’s ideal edge. This occurrence may occur on the left or right
side of the square and can be compensated for by the image tuning setting. In the diagram
below, the arrows refer to the direction the lens carriage is moving to generate that
engraved line. If the first and every other line protrude to the
left
of the square’s ideal edge,
you will want to set the image tuning to a
negative value
. If the first and every other
consecutive line protrude to the
right
of the square’s ideal edge, you will want to set the
image tuning to a
positive value
. The further the protruding lines are from the square’s
ideal edge, the larger you will need to set the Image Tuning value to compensate.
The following is an example that has the proper image tuning, and demonstrates this
significance when engraving fine, small, intricate text. The following two pictures show
engraved text magnified with no image tuning (left picture) and image tuning enabled (right
picture).
