Information

      Every artist needs a color palette. If you have an F2 Ultra UV, here's yours. (You can do countless test grids with different settings, but the settings in this grid are a good start.)

The grid in the photo was made on a 0.8mm 304 stainless steel business card.

Instruction

Step1

Run the test grid (Should take around 18 mins).

Important: Defocus by increasing the focus height by an extra 4mm.

Then use a color-separated graphic with settings for each layer determined by your desired color from the grid. There are some suitable projects here on Atomm with the color layering already done for you. Search for “Color Engraving F2 UV.”

Edit: I also posted a tutorial on Atomm describing an easy-ish way to separate colors using only xTool Studio, if you want to try it with your own images.
