DPI setting for Chinese laser

I think the problem is communication between Photograv and the Laser
I have the LG500 and it communicate with a own PCI card and not with the LPT Port

I don't think Photograv is supposed to communicate with your laser. You save the processed photo (.bmp) to your hard drive, then import that photo into your laser software and raster it.

Yes, it is that simple. But getting the Photograv conversion setting correct for the best results may take a little trial and error. The software has settings already for many different types of material.

There isn't a demo that I'm aware of but I'm sure you can find someone who has Photograv to process a picture for you and email it back to you so you can engrave it to see what it looks like.

Start a new thread here in the Laser Engraving & Cutting Machines forum for Photograv Question and request that someone process a picture for you to try. They need to know what material you will be engraving.

Also, join the sawmillcreek.org forum. They have a great laser engravers forum and if you can't get someone to process a picture for you here on CNCzone, Someone there will do it for you.

SkipW is correct to say that your laser doesnt communicate with PhotoGrav..PhotoGrav is just a software program like others where as you make your image adjustments save to file and then import that into your lasers software. PhotoGrav does not send your image to your laser. No trial versions available that I am aware of. Pay the $$$ up front and take your chances.

Good luck.

i have photograv.
you could send me a picture, to process.

Same here. If you need an image processed just send me a PM.

I will be honest and say that there is nothing better than trial and error to get a good raster. You have to know your know your machine better than your girlfriend.
