thanks guys--

I'm able to get a light babypoop color...

first try was zero power, 1500 speed 50 freq w/.02mm hatch
362883
--and it was one of the best...

I found that more than 10% power went darker, higher freq engraved less, less freq engraved more and went a bit lighter...
362884

my last try (on the right by my thumb) was 1500 speed 2% power and 30 freq, and a bit out of focus, kind of added a bit of brown, and engraved the surface enough to suit me.
362885

I never did change the speed. Sent these pics to my customer, their customer said 'go', I'll have parts in a few days :)
