Dura Black Settings

[leslie blackburn]

I could use some help on the proper settings for Dura Black. I have an Epilog Mini 35 watt machine.
I don't think I am getting the best image. Any help would be appreciated.

On our 50W Universal we found the best settings were 15% speed, 22% power, 500dpi/ppi. It took a lot of fiddling, but that was the best we came up with - as strange as those settings seem.

I got a piece of paper with my last order od DuraBlack
it says:
Speed-between 60-80%. some dwell time is needed to create a good mark
Power - about 15-20 watts (50 watt laser should be set at about 35%)
DPI - set at 600dpi or higher
PPI - set as high as possible (at least 1000)

these settings seem okay on my 50 watt helix

That's about where we started, but we weren't getting the best results. We've been working with Horizons (the manufacturer) on their settings because our samples, using 15s 22p ended up crisper than what they were sending us.

This is our the sample we keep in our lobby.
