Resolution Settings
Uses for different resolution settings:
100 – 200 DPI
These resolution values are typically used for non-production purposes where you
want to experiment with image location, or if you want to quickly produce a
rough draft.
250 DPI
Some users like 250 DPI for engraving photographs that have been processed
through PhotoGrav or other photo editing software designed for the laser. This
resolution can also be good for production work where image quality needs to be
good, but not great. Many users will use 250 DPI on plastic and other materials
that don’t require a lot of power in combination with large block lettering.
Attempting to produce really fine detail with 250 DPI is not recommended.
400 DPI
This resolution value is ideal for many applications. It combines very good image
quality with fast engraving times. Many users like 400 DPI for all of their work.
500 DPI
When really fine detail or overall excellent results are required, most users choose
500 DPI.
1000 DPI
This resolution is used for projects that require the best engraving quality
possible, although it’s seldom used because under normal circumstances most
people cannot visually discern the difference between 1000 and 500 DPI. There
are however some users that appreciate this high level of quality and are willing to
take twice as long to produce an image at 1000 DPI as it would take them at 500
DPI.
