*Manufacturer recommended parameters are generalized starting values, and are not intended to be definitive, accurate, or specific to any brand/model of laser engraver/cutter. No promise, or offer of guarantee that satifactory results will be observed when utilizing manufactuer-provided laser settings. Users of this material will need to experiment with their specific equipment/setup to achieve the desired results. Your specific equipment/setup will likely require different production settings than those prescribed.
