I remember that some Epilog users were having a hard time lasering this product with good results. At the very least non consistent results.
They have since added a little bit of info to thier product flyer.
Epilog Users
Base settings
Epilog TT 35w 10p/30s
Epilog 24ex 40w 25p/30s
Epilog EX 75w 25p/30s
Side Note for Epilog Users
Autofocus adjust should be between +90 and +115 with autofocus turned on. If you have the options change RC(Ramp compensation) to 9, and AC(acceleration compensation) to 6. This will help yeild a consistent and rich black mark.
This will work for most of thier products under this name. However satin silver uses a bit more power.
From the 2 large jobs I am running today on my machine it seems as though they were right on. Power and speed on my 32ex 75w were only 1% off. That could just be my shop being colder then most.
Good luck and I hope this helps the few that have been waiting for some sign that Alumamark was trying to help fix this issue with inconsistent results.
For the time, I still hold to the belief that thier product varies up to 5% on power needed from one batch to the next. i will continue to ask them for a sample square of any Alumamark product they sell. Hopefully they will send out a 2x2 square of the product you are buying in the future with each purchase.
