Just wanted to say thanks for the video, and introduction to Imag-r software. I'm going to get the 6 months off-line package to see how it goes as it can be used on up to 3 devices and is faster than online version . Thanks again !

I just learned the size thing the hard way..talk about timely vid

[@jamesmanson1555]

Great video!
Curious how you determine the DPI for a pic or if it's just in general around 300? I just got a laser and I'm learning these terms and how they work
Thanks!

[@LaserNoob]

300 dpi is about the max you'll get. The higher the dpi, the more detail you'll get. It will also make your burn time longer.

HI I don't know if your interested for your bussiness but I just worked out how to stamp a Golf Ball using Tempra Paint using a laser but the laser I used is now as powerful as the DX1 Laser or the Longer Ray5 laser so the settings I used are speed 1000/75% power if you want to try for a personalized golf ball

[@LaserNoob]

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip!

[@billfuller317]

great but why did you have to invert? I thought you invert on a black painted?

[@LaserNoob]

Other photos have not done that. For some reason this one was burning inverted. So I selected inverted in Imag-r and it burned normal.
