Test the best settings for painted or stained wood. This is a shallow pale engrave grid test, designed for speed and pale colours.
Add your painted or stained wood to the laser bed. Use the built in positioning system or camera to tell the software where the material is on the laser bed
Arrange the design on your material
Once ready, hit start in the software, then again on the machine
Wait with the machine whilst it processes the grid test. Once finished, remove from the machine and wipe with alcohol to remove any soot
Inspect the results, and if needed, tweak the settings and run the test again until you get the tone and colour that you desire
