Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help. We offer pine 1 bottle and 2 bottle wine boxes that we etch for customers.
We use an epilog 30 watt laser engraver.
To prep - I place masking tape -(R Tape Plaque Masking Tape) to avoid the halo effect. But it doesn't always work.
Our settings currently are 25 Speed/100 Power, but sometimes we lower the power to 90.
I really think it just depends on the wood - even if it's all pine.
I'm just wondering is there any way to eliminate the halo completely? Are there any tricks or settings that I'm missing?
I attached an image. On some letters in the pic the letters show a halo.
Thank you in advance for your help!
