Ok folks. Here's my problem. I'm using Photoshop CS3 on a Legend 36EXT and every time I'm trying to engrave a 300 dpi photo, the result comes out unaligned and distorted. If I use the 600 dpi resolution, the result is aligned but I'm not happy with the quality (I understand the best setting to engrave a photo is 300 dpi). I'm running my laser on a Windows XP system. Any advise would be much appreciated.

Do you have Corel? Try importing the image into Corel and the printing it. I have not had luck with PS printing correctly. Corel seems to print correct every time.

I'm not a hundred percent sure on this, but I am guessing that you are sending the file directly from photoshop. Try importing it into Corel Draw. Have you put the image through using either the Gold method or photograv or are you trying to send it through direct with no attempts to prepare it?

Thank you guys for your suggestions. You are right... it seems that Corel does a better job.
