Intensity Adjustments
Intensity Adjustments give you the opportunity to
change the intensity of your Raster Engraving, Vector
Marking, and Vector Cutting. The default settings are set to 0% but they can be changed from -50% to
+50%. Increasing the settings increases the intensity of the engraving process giving you deeper results.
Decreasing the intensity decreases the engraving process and gives you shallower results. Always start
at 0% on a scrap piece of material and make any appropriate changes accordingly. There is not need to
make changes to these controls only if undesired results are produced.
