![[Laser cut and engrave] Test Engrave for Dark Shallow Images](https://image-res.xtool.com/resource/xtool/community/attachment/xtool-community/9535a141-9cf6-42e5-a769-917a0c3d47df_421568492_409866181486283_2005243455493918534_n.jpg?x-oss-process=image/resize,w_200,h_150,limit_0/interlace,1/format,webp/auto-orient,1)

This is a set of test arrays that I used to help get better contrast on detailed engravings using the S1. The Arrays start from 10-100mms with 10-25% power and work down to 3-12mms to 3-12%. The goal was to get shallow burns with dark tones without using borax or defocusing laser. The control was done on a 200mw machine.

The arrays allowed me to determine the best settings to achieve black contrast on hardwood without over engraving the wood.
