    other uses for my laser

    I bought my laser primarily to engrave my pens, now I am discovering other 'hobby' uses. Like engraving on denim. Do any of you wish to help me with speed and power settings for engraving fabric?enhanced Streamline.sm.jpg

    low pwr high speed. the object is to lightly change the color of the fabric with out making it to fragile so it comes apart , again all machines are different and setting very a lot. trial and error Pen looks good BTW

    Thank you, i appreciate your complement. I followed one of your suggestions regarding the vector cut and shadowing. I didn't do the vector cut per se, i refocussed the font to reduce the blur that made the blank you saw look less burned.
