Been having a hard time finding good settings with the marble from
http://www.lasersketch.com/
did anyone else get some samples from there?
It comes out kinda grey and 'dotty', where on the normal black marble from my local flooring co, it comes out white and nice. There just isn't the white black contrast like I'm used to seeing. I lowered my power like it suggests on the site, but then I lose detail...
Any hints on getting better quality? I'm pretty sure it's not my photo processing, as I've tried many combo's of dithering and resolution, plus I've used photograv. I can get great results on the normal tile.
I'm in Washington state, (close enough to portland oregon), is there any place I get get good black marble tile? I also don't mind mail order if there's a place out there with good stuff for lasering. Most of the places I called won't let me hand select, and it's a huge "luck of the draw" to get tiles without filled breaks and swirls. I've only found one place that would let me, but he only has a stock of about 15-20.
I've found a small market here and would love to capitolize but can't find the supplies... grrrr
any ideas?
