    Unhappy Many dots on Laser Engraved Wood

    Hello Everyone!
    I'm a novice, practically a noob, in doing laser work as I've just started a month ago. I'm still experimenting with all the different settings in cutting and engraving.

    I notice that when it comes to engraving on wood, my engraved pieces seem to be littered with dots (uploaded pictures of my results in this post) instead of being smoothly engraved like what I see in videos online.

    My images are processed via Image R with a DPI of around 300. I'm using Inkscape to generate the Gcode which my laser machine can read. I'm also testing it on normal plywood.

    Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can make my engravings smooth?



    Thanks a lot!
