Hello! I’m trying to engrave faux leather koozies on my GF Pro. The tester is black to silver and I can not figure out my speed, power and LPI settings. If anyone could help me that would be wonderful. Thank you!
This post should help. There’s a section on engraving settings and a link to a spreadsheet of suggestions.
Then there is this post which is directly about this material:
All I did was search for “silver leather”. This time it was easy but searching the forum is sometimes tricky. #12 on my faq talks a bit about search techniques:
Welcome to the forum.
Posts regarding settings for non Proofgrade materials are generally found in the Beyond the Manual section of the forum. As already noted, there are suggestions for black/silver leatherette already available.
It is important that your koozies are completely flat for proper engraving or you will get very poor results. Most examples of poor results that I have seen were because the power was set too high and the silver layer was obliterated.
