Hello Everyone,
I finally got the new (used) 25 watt Epilog Mini up and running. What a cool tool... Thanks to those who responded. And a thankyou to the Epilog Technical support; they were very helpful and courteous, even though the unit was purchased used.
I was wondering if anyone could help with what settings in the Epilog print driver, and in Corel, would produce a (preferably random, or regularly spaced) pattern of single pulsed, non-overlapping dots for a simple grayscale image. If the beam is 0.005" on average, then a dpi of less than 200 could produce discrete dots. However, in playing around with the image types, resolution, DPI settings etc., these grayscales seem to be engraved as "clusters of dots" of various configurations, separated by spaces between the groups. Is there a way to make the grayscales print with separated single pulses (until of cours the resolution exceeds 200dpi). My apologies if this is an obvious question! Thank you! Charles
