ok, a little chatting w/@jbmanning5 and some info he had, along with a memory from some sleuthing around earlier, and i went back to this page.
which got me to this table.
then, from there, i married the table above from a more traditional look at scan gap. there’s some overlap, and hopefully i can use this to do things comparably and try to marry recommendations from other laser cutters to how i’m engraving the scripted photos.
life might be easier if GF identified the scan gap on the same kind of scale that other laser cutters do, but the rest of the numbers aren’t really comparable either, so…
