In the list below, you will find different materials and the corresponding indication parameters for engraving.

Please note that these values are indications only! Each laser source and power supply are unique. Because of this, each machine is different. Use these values as a guide.

If you use these values but the result is not optimal, try other values. You can, for example, engrave 5 x 5 cm squares with different engraving values and choose which value fits best. Note that it is important to never input less than 15% power. The laser source has a switching point and this is around 15%. If you enter 14 or less, the source may not turn on or the source may still turn on and off, preventing you from engraving.
