    No, probably the recommended Epilog settings for plastic. I'm guessing 300dpi.

    Linda, don't get too hung up on using someone else's settings. There are just too many variables that it is often not all that helpful. I would suggest that you get a piece of scrap ABS (lots of parts are made from it) or maybe you can get a square foot of offcut somewhere. Possibly even a scrap piece of ABS plumbing pipe will work for a test. (You can run one line of text in focus.) Then run some experiments to see what dpi, ppi , speed and power give you the best results. That should get you into the ballpark.

    A lot of business machine and computer parts are made from ABS; they will probably be marked with the recycling triangle and the letters ABS inside.
