"white artist canvas"

Fantastic.  Good going, Jeff.  Another brilliant innovation from you.  You continue to push the state of the art even higher.

Used the artist canvas that Jeff discovered to laser this one.  Clear lacquer spray for protection.  Size 6 x 8 inches.

Thanks Jeff.

Very nice John,

That came out very good. Looks like you varied the power instead of pulsing. I tried to use analog modulation on the artist canvas and just could not get it to come out that good. Please give us details on your settings.

Thanks Jeff,
I used .007" resolution at 35ipm, max. power, and laser output setting.  I was also careful to not wipe off the burn residue before spraying on a light coat of clear lacquer.

I think a lot depends on the original image.  I'm still trying to get a handle on that aspect; I just don't post my failures  :D

Thanks John,

That's one thing I did not try (laser output setting) and I was not patient enough to run them at a lower feedrate.  ::) They came out OK, but was to light. Nothing good enough to brag about yet. I'm looking into a 10W laser to mount on the new build. It's a rack and pinion servo system and can run at 525IPM max with the 48V power supply I used.
