Raster
Raster mode is used for marking or engraving materials. Typical uses would be
reproducing clipart, scanned images, photos, text and graphic images. The Raster
Speed and Raster Power boxes will be enabled when you have selected Raster
under Job Type. Set the Speed and Power boxes to the appropriate settings for the
material that you are engraving. For speed and power guidelines, see the Speed
and Power Recommendations section of this manual. As a general rule, most
users do not use 250 DPI resolution or below for production engraving. If you
always set up your artwork so your thin lines are .006 inches or greater they will
always engrave at 400, 500 and 1000 DPI.
Note – Very thin lines will not raster engrave, and the definition of “thin” varies
depending on the Resolution being used. The following table shows which line
weights will raster at different resolutions when in Raster or Combined mode.
