Hey all, just started burning photographs onto marble using a 120 watt and 60 watt lazer (use to using granite) does anyone have settings suggestions for the most detail? Oh I am also using 300 dpi

I can't say exactly for your wattage laser, but for me the marble settings were almost the exact opposite of granite. Granite was slow, high power, marble was fast, low power.

Best bet is to get a sample piece and try 100P/100S and reduce the power until you get the desired image. If that doesn't work then try reducing speed to get the desired image. 300 DPI may be the max you'll find useful on anything but wood and acrylic, try lower settings as well.

Well that is interesting because at 100s/50p the image was entirely white so I dropped the power to 25 and kept speed the same and the image seems nice. Do you think its just the watts im using because I do just about the same with granite? Any Ideas?
