    Color laser power settings for B&W image

    I am intending to buy a 60 watt Chinese laser engraving machine with a printer Driver that offers 7 color/laser power settings

    How would u set different alser power vis-a-vis color when the image I want to engrave has to be converted in grayscale / B&W. OR do I just give print command after setting the levels of power.

    Please advise I am totally new to this field but have extensive knowledge in Photoshop

    Thanks

    The colors for power level are used for vector graphics. It likely doesn't apply to raster engraving, which uses a fixed power setting and dithering.

    Zax.
