Great progress. GF was down and not calibrating for some time so I finally got that fixed. For anyone that may come into that in the future they recommended to just unplug it, the computer you were using, your modem, and router. Then plug them all back in. Got it all working right away. Super simple reset. Wish they would make that info readily available since I had to wait days to find that out from them.
Anyways, here is my now test. I ended up changing the text to a rastor image and then used the convert to dots setting in the GF screen. I did 3 different ones. The far left is 1000/40/450 3 passes, next is 1000/30/450 3 passes, and last is 1000/20/450 2 passes. Also I took a pic before and after scrubbing it with the green side of a dishes sponge to see how it would hold up. It seems that the middle settings worked great and holds up.
