    Hey Kev, try this: Open the PDF and print it to a [new] PDF and don't embed the fonts. This process works well for me; by converting the fonts to lines/splines, you should have zero font mapping...

    did it work previously? need more info to help out... power supply issues are easy to diagnose with a voltmeter; these machines are relatively simple albeit impressive in their works.

    FWIW, I did need to take advantage of the Paypal protection; Ebay won't touch it after 30 days. For lack of a better term once initiated, Paypal was "on it". YMMV. All that aside, the ebay machines...

    Thanks Rob. Seems to match up with what I have learned (slowly since I first posted).

    I should be pulling the trigger on an 80mm in the next day or so. I'll post back in hopes this thread helps...

    I use our 30w CO2 @ 44s100p600dpi with good results of fine details (it's a modified REMAX logo fwiw). A quick cleanup with magic eraser dipped in DNA makes it shine right quick.

    Fiber Rotary Question - Wiring?

    Can anyone confirm the number of wires on their fiber rotary? Ebay units show (4) wires from what I see but the plug on the back of our unit (I swear) shows a (5) wire plug. Is one just a key-way?

    Thanks. I'll keep an eye on these for sure. I am leery to buy overseas at the moment. As we too do quite a bit of firearm engraving, the depth-speed ratio for the money is alluring...

    What type of machine do you have? We have good results on our fiber as that it has a greater focal length than our Epilog CO2; I wouldn't bother with our CO2.

    Really fun on firearms, like Henry Goldenboys :/ When in doubt, a qtip with simple green or WD40 can help determine whether it's permanent or not....kinda hard to line up items after the fact.

    Use an 80% black instead of 100% when rastering, it will yield a better result.

    Is it possible you're using too much power and ever so slightly annealing the metal within the beam path? What would happen if you lower the cup/ defocus the beam to increase your spot size?
