I have watched many videos ans read many articles and for the most part all the processes are very similar. I am trying to put a portrait of a person or animal on to a piece of glass. I think the best video I have watched is one by a Trotec employee describing a process that includes a mask which I have tried on multiple pictures but always with poor results. I am looking to see if anyone here has had any success with etching a photo with a detailed outcome on glass with a chinese co2 laser. I have a Thunder Laser Nova 35 and I have seen very good results on such things as wood etc but with glass I am short of nothing but terrible.
If someone would be willing to send me a processed file that they have etched onto glass with settings that were used to etch the final product I would like to throw it at my machine with the same settings and see if the results are close to what were obtained by you.
This will help me understand if it is something that I am doing, my settings, my photo processing, or my laser!
