PhotoGrav or One touch laser photo

[Andrew Mammoliti]

I did alder wood at 1000 dpi, and my results were detailed as crazy, it was a wedding photo.

If it works don't fix it.

How is your trotec? Btw.

As for the 1000 dpi thing, that's what uls recommends. It takes a lot longer but the picture has way better resolution then at 300 dpi. A 12" x 12" granite tile takes me around 90 min. You can't change the 1000 dpi file, but you can change your laser dpi lower, but like I said they say 1000 dpi is better.

ULS is being generic in their recommendation. More resolution is always better from an image standpoint, as long as the substrate supports it. Marble (or granite) isn't one of those substrates. Neither is glass or wood. In fact, off of the top of my head, anodized aluminum is one of the few substrates that can support it. By lowering your resolution appropriately for the substrate at hand, you will actually end up with a much better image.

That scangap is crazy , you wont get much more detial than 0.05 or even 0.075
Be careful with scangap , it does NOT translate to 300 dpi if you use values like 0.1(its 254dpi), to get 300 dpi you need a scangap of 0.084666

Well works for me on Alderwood and lasersketch granite.
