Hi all - I have a Speedy 100 and a Fusion 40. I noticed, in cast acrylic, my Fusion has been engraving with a choppy, unsmooth quality compared to the Trotec lately. Trotec engraving on top, Epilog on bottom in the photo below. I adjusted belt tension, checked/cleaned all mirrors/optics, and greased the rail - and then tried numerous settings to try and gain a smooth engraving. Changing the dither to brighten or stucki helps - but it's still nowhere as buttery smooth as the Trotec (the Trotec is also a slightly brighter engraving as far as the grey is concerned).
Anyone have any experience with this? Any tips on how to work toward a fix? Have a big acrylic job coming up next week and I'm stumped. Tech support didn't answer the phone - it's Friday afternoon and all - so I thought I'd throw it out here.
