    If alignment is good....

    Then it's optics or possibly the laser tube as others have mentioned. You've gotten good advice on SMC so far but it's best to leave the diagnostics and ultimate solution to those who do it best.

    Contact the person you purchased the system from to determine warranty status and what their warranty covers.

    Tech support is readily available to assist. Keep in mind though that they will not be able to cover the expense of replacement parts if the machine is out of factory warranty. The warranty you received was likely from the reseller.

    Power meter...

    A few of you have mentioned measuring the tube's output. What do I need to get to test it, where can I get it, and how do I do it? Asking the people we got the machine from is not an option. Also, a thank you to everyone for your input on this. It's very helpful.

    Nicholas, have you spoken with Epilog tech support? Although the machine is out of warranty they will still help you. Many times the techs there can take you through the proper steps to get to the bottom of a problem. They have helped me numerous times and they would probably have knowledge of where to rent a power meter. They are in Colorado.

    Nicholas,
    Here is a link to one source. Check around and see if you can rent or borrow one from your dealer/manufacturer otherwise this is one way to get it checked.
