Good afternoon all,
I am new to using forums and RDworks so forgive any mistakes I make.

I have been using other software and other laser machines and now I have went out on my own and have a boxford 350 machine.

I work a lot with paper and card to create decoupage type pictures. I am trying to figure out the best settings for etching paper and card so far I'm still cutting through too much or making no mark so can't find the mid point. any suggestions welcome.

Welcome Lyndsey- read the FAQ section and record your machine parameters and you should also see some RDw files that are helpful in dialing in your settings for different materials, altho low power settings are typically fussier than higher power settings. Gene
