    Mayan (Aztec) Calendar.

    Just thought you might like to see this. It is laser cut into Traffolite engraving laminate using the Mach3 impact engraving / laser plugin.

    Tweakie doesn't like to disclose his sample is 4" across and has jagged lines on the arrow

    For a smooth finish at 1000dpi look at our 2.3" sample here (zoom on the arrow):

    Engraved in 10 minutes on our 40W low cost laser:

    How long does that take you Tweakie?

    Fullspec,

    Unfortunately you picture doesn't zoom to any where the detail necessary to get a true comparison.

    Perhaps you would be prepared to provide a more detailed shot of the arrow which you mention. Would be most helpful to me if you could.

    It looks great to me Tweakie! I don't have too many customers using a magnifying glass to examine their decals, and if they did, well they would likely get it stapled to their forehead.

    Thanks Zax, there will always be people who can do better.

    I would really like FSE to post an enlarged picture for accurate comparison.
    I have a sneaky suspicion that I can do better still

    Now there's a challenge for you Henry.

    The challenge is made, gauntlet thrown down... get the dueling pistols out (or at least the lasers)!

    The material will have a lot to do with the edge quality too.

    It sounds like the discussions over on the photography forums, where people are 'pixel peeping' at their 21MP D-SLR photos and seeing jaggies or sensor noise - in reality you wouldn't notice even if producing a huge poster.

    Zax.

    Tweakie:

    We are a transparent company with nothing to hide. Our image is large enough for you to see the lines are clearly cleaner to the naked eye.

    Under 40x magnification they are still sharp.

    We are happy to do apples to apples testing against your system.

    Here are the factors that must be the same:
    1) You must use the same material. We ran this in oak and you ran it on some other material. Suggest something that is easily accessible and we will run it the same.
    2) You must run the same image at the exact same size. Our original image had a black border and our logo on the bottom. It is exactly 2.315" x 2.668". Since you changed our image we cannot compare it.
    3) You must state 1) how long it takes to setup the image from the time you save the image to disk to the time it starts engraving 2) how long it takes you to engrave the image

    Complete these tasks and we will repeat with the exact same parameters.

    We are 100% sure our controller is bit perfect. Not only can you see the difference at 1000dpi but we are happy to show the signals captured on a highspeed 1ghz oscilloscope which shows less than 10ns variation between the pulse width on all axes.

    Why do people insist on downsampling the image then enlarging it to a different size and using a different material?

    It is frustrating for us to suggest a simple apples to apples comparison and people insist on deviating from the test plan so the two results are meaningless.

    Scientific testing requires scientific methods.
