Hi All, 

 

Newbie here playing with engraving a photo into plywood with lotsa questions.

 

What is the difference between these Bitmap Modes in the Dropdown?

                              

Also, and my apologies if this is a tiresome question, can anyone recommend settings on how to BEST engrave a photo onto a wood surface, or a painted wood surface?  S1 40w.

 

I got the best results in my initial tests on white painted ply, 300 lpc, and Comic 2 filter, PWR 15%, but it could be much better.

 

I was also getting moiré patterns and losing highlights trying to balance between those settings. Is there a tutorial or Youtube video that goes over printing bitmaps?

 

TIA - Richard
