Cutting Note: Adjusting the standard focus distance so it is closer to the lens by about .080” (2 mm) will
produce better edge quality when cutting 1/4”(6mm) acrylic and thicker. Two passes can be used for cutting
thicker materials. There are two types of acrylic: cast is better for engraving (it creates a frosted look when
engraved) and extruded acrylic produces a much better flame polished edge.

engraved with great detail down to 400DPI.

When engraving fabric, try changing the graphic to 80% gray and use the Jarvis dithering pattern for the best
results. Every fabric you are cutting will need to have adjusted setting - find a small swatch of the fabric you
can test first.

When etching glass, try changing the graphic to 80% gray before engraving and using the Jarvis dithering
pattern. You can also diuse heat by covering the glass with a thin sheet of dish soap.
