Still learning settings but it is getting better.

That looks great! I have been wanting to try mirrors for a while now. Would you mind sharing your current setting so I have a place to start? That would be fantastic.

Getting the settings was the hard part. Spent about 3 days to get to this point. Glad walmart had 12X48 inch mirrors on sale for $5 to practice with. The image was converted to black and white then if there is lettering you need to flip the image.
PROCESS
- PLACE MIRROR UPSIDE DOWN i made a loop of masking tape to set the mirror on it held just fine
- RUN THE CODE
- WASH BACK OF MIRROR LIGHTLY SCRUB WITH SOAPY WATER IT WILL HAVE FINE ASH ON IT
- SPRAY WITH BLACK PAINT
after the image was converted to .bmp I found that I needed to add 1.15 more inches to bring the file up to size and it was still off a bit that is why the pixel resolution set at .0109 instead of .01. This could have easily been ran much faster but I was in no rush. Also this was with the 3.8 watt jtech.

Awesome. Thanks a lot. I will have to play with it im sure as I still have the 2.8 watt J-Tech. I’ve been wanting to try mirrors for a while now but have had my hands full getting the settings for the two different woods I have been trying to engrave down. (Poplar and Chestnut). I’m sure the women in my house have some mirrors laying around that I could “borrow”
