What to do if the marking is not legible (low contrast) on Tri-Star Measuring Instruments?
- M
  Madison MillerAug 5, 2025
  If the marking from your Tri-Star Measuring Instruments is not legible, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the wire you're using might not be suitable for laser marking, so try using a different, laser-markable wire. Second, the laser power might be too low. In this case, you can try lowering the objective position or reducing the line spacing and marking speed. If these steps don't work, the laser may need to be sent back to the factory for repair.
