Hallo everybody.
I'm new to this forum, this is my first posting here.
I'm looking for inexpensive laser machine capable of engraving bitmap images in stone - black marble and other similar materials. Rabbit models form hxlaser (especially HX4060SE) and LG3040/LG500 from jinweike seem to be fitted for that kind of job, and have very attractive prices. As far as I understand, the smaller models (Rabbit HX3040 and WK 40) are not suitable for such jobs... Am I right? Can I expect to obtain excellent picture quality from CO2 lasers? Is the software accompanying these machines suitable for such tasks (I'd like to be able to engrave not only BW bitmaps, but also grayscale and color images). Is there a possibility to use these machines with 3rd partysoftware, like VCarve?
If you have any experience with using Chinese laser engravers for such tasks - please share your experience. Any photographs of actual engravings will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Gena
