I always start out with the most closely similar (not the best grammar, I know) Proof Grade material and run a few tests adjusting the settings as needed.

I agree with the advice from @ovm.steve. Just create a test svg…like a little square or circle and sacrifice a small corner of your material to do some testing.

Hi Ashley! The laser loses power over its lifetime, so one user’s settings could be different. Test all the things, and don’t deny yourself the joy of discovery!

Moved this to Beyond the manual so it stays within the guidelines

also the setting will vary between SKU’s just because the things are the same doesn’t mean they are.

had real trouble with the whiteboard/chalkboard material a while back. turned out different SKU’s diff, settings required.
