I did my first jigsaw puzzle last night using the Jigsaw Puzzle Creator plug in for Corel X4. I used spray adhesive to stick an inkjet photo of my daughter to a piece of thick cardstock. Then, using the Matboard cutting settings from the ULS V460-50w manual, I cut the puzzle face down on the honeycomb.
Everything went smoothly, except that I have a small amount of scorch along the laser cut edges on the photo. I don't think it made a difference being face down. Both sides appear to be slightly scorched.
Can anyone provide me with a tip for cutting photo puzzles without scorching the photo at the edges? Is the answer simply it simply less power, more speed, or something else?
Is it better to use a processed photo instead of an inkjet?
Thanks,
