How so? Less power or more power? I found my same raster & vector settings for LaserMax worked for Duets.
I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think, "Well, that’s not going to happen."

Rastering - a little less Power. Vector - Half the Power.

Interesting. I re-ran tests on the red/white sample they sent me. I still found my best results were using the same settings as I use for LaserMax. Dropping vector to half the power only gave me a half-way cut. The black/white sample allowed me to use a little less power to raster, while vector was still the same. What I found different on the red/white & black/white samples mailed to me was that all I needed was WD-40 to clean them or Goo Gone. The black still smeared black dust into the white area, but another wipe with the cloth cleaned it out. It wasn't that easy with some other colors I was engraving in the last few weeks.

All their products should take a little more power on the vector. Rowmark's 1/16" thick material measures about .050" (almost 1/64" under 1/16") and Gemini's products appear to measure .062".
