Hello,
I'm new to the forum and the laser engraving and I was wondering if it was possible if I could get some advice from anyone. I have a 40watt co2 laser and I'm having the hardest time trying to engrave pens. I have a jig made up for doing batches because I do not have a rotary attachment. When I go to engrave my pens (now I'm doing various different pens some with an unknown type of paint coating, I suspect an acrylic base, and some some rubber coated) I've been having some luck with a setting of 600 DPI 50 Speed 100 Power and 500 PPI. I ahve to do about 3 to 4 passes with this setting and I have to rub off residue with an alcohol swab. Any suggestions on how I could do this better would be more than appreciated.
