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.

Black photo paper, took about 40 mins, ignore the scratching on the white part of the top of the photo it was my first time and I tried to wipe off my finger prints and made it way worse, other than that I am really happy with how it turned out. used the xtool AI to turn it into a fine line engraving file and then I inverted the image.
