Information
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.
