I also have heard that lightburn can adjust gamma, contrast etc…' Im doing som etest patches today:) this will be nice haha. Oh, and you did mention a test burn pattern in which i did reply to above saying' im going to be doing a test pattern to see what works best on the pine i have at the moment. The only solution you have given me is “are you sure its 6000mm/min and are you sure its a 20 watt laser?” Instead they just expect others to feed them the solutions.” “I have to say that there is trend I see constantly in forums of people who are not prepared to go out and learn the craft. I ran the same image through imag-r and re-did the burn with far better results than lightburn, which tells me its either a bug or a specific setting. I have had some images come out looking way better than the preview pane shows.

My issue with the etch is NOT the power or speed settings, its exactly what I and WildEyeDreaming is experiencing, and that is that the preview button is producing images super dark, no matter what settings i choose. that is the only “incorrect” information i have given. What do you mean “deliberately do not give the correct information” where did i give the wrong information you happened to see a screen shot and ASSUMED i had not changed the speed yet. A bit out of focus and you are burning over the next line. Have you tried a test pattern? You can generate one here for Lightburn, then play with the numbers to narrow down to the best settings for your setup and the type of media you are using.Īnother point - Focus Is King. Go to Amazon and search for “laser 20 watt” to see what I mean, even reputable suppliers like Ortur are advertised there incorrectly.

On my 5.5W laser I burn images in cork at 1500mm/sec 30% power for cork and 1200mm/min 50% power for wood.Īlso, that is probably a 5W or so actual optical power, because diode lasers don’t get to those power ratings (they often quote the electrical consumption as power rating). If it was a typo, and you meant 600mm/min, then double that.

I suspect that by the time the laser turns on for each dot at that speed it has already moved so it is like smearing the image. Are you really moving at 6000mm/min? I doubt a diode laser will actually make an accurate dot at those speeds.
