I am a newbie. Making name badges using Rowmark plastic. I am engraving the names first, then vector cutting the badges. I have some issues.
First of all, there is a very slight ridge around the vector cut badge. Can't really see it, but you can feel it. Is there a way to cut without the ridge? It is especially noticable on the Textures plastic. I am using a Full Spectrum 40W laser. Settings are 70 power 14 speed.
Another issue is cutting Flexibrass - slight ridge also. I get less ridge by cutting on the backside but the edge just doesn't seem "clean" enough. Settings for the Flexibrass are 40 power 50 speed.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
