Important safety notice

Settings are starting points — always run a test cut on scrap before your final piece. Follow your manufacturer's guidance, wear eye protection, and ensure proper ventilation.

Engraved on 1/20" (1.3mm) black-to-white two-tone acrylic using the S1 at 299mm/s and 27% power, single pass on baseplate. This combination captured smooth gradient transitions in a detailed photo; fur texture, individual keyboard keys, and subtle tonal shifts all came through cleanly without losing detail to overburn. The low power and high speed let the laser modulate between the black and white layers instead of cutting straight through, which is what makes photo engravings like this work on two-tone. If your image has a lot of mid-tones and fine detail, these settings are a solid starting point.
