the laser engraver related definitions:
Registration: all systems are called laser engraving of progress, which are divided into scan mode and cutting mode.
Court: the laser light moves along the lines of graphic design, leaving the desired image in the recorded material
Exploration: the laser light moves horizontally or vertically between the image field of design, and complete the picture treated materials. This method can be used to label / mark cut or plate making in detail.
Label decisions mark /: laser light is adjusted to set the minimum for many types of labels.
Shield Engraving: laser light following the indicated amount, leaving a hole with a specific depth. Such a method is used for cutting printing plates duplex whose slope can be adjusted.
Writing spare change in grade level with different levels of depth when scanning to obtain redress through writing
gradient: usually transmitted from the surface of the material scan documents vertically downward. To meet the demand for printing, lowering can be achieved by a slope sweet, which is called gradient.
Subject: All images, words or graphics on the page headed by the user

25-35 Watts "It's special to sculpture and engraving seal of the cup of simple materials and thin is not recommended for thick enough, or dual head applications.
Production from 1940 to 1950 Watts of average power level deeper, burning at high speed and thickness cutting operations soon.
60-80 Watts output power provides a high level of performance, deep engraving and cutting. Ideal for engraving and precision cutting.
100-150 Watt – High level of energy that is ideal for large cutting depths, better performance printing. For example, if you want to cut a thick acrylic over 3 mm (including 3 mm), you can choose the high power lasers.
