Laser Engraving Tips & Pro Guides

What do the Reticle Red tips cover?

These are free written guides for people running CO2, diode, fiber and MOPA lasers, and none of them needs an account to read. They are grouped by the problem they solve. Settings: a wood engraving reference, EZCAD speed, power, frequency and pulse width for fiber and galvo machines, and MOPA colour marking. Photo work: which dithering algorithm to use and how to prepare a tumbler wrap. 3D and depth: 8-bit versus 16-bit depth maps, and faithful photo depth versus sculpted relief. Workflow: the hand-off to LightBurn and EZCAD, challenge coin design, laser maps and running a laser business. Where a guide gives numbers, treat them as starting points to test on scrap of the same material, not guarantees. Each guide links to the tool that does the job, and many of those tools are free. New guides ship alongside the releases they explain, and every guide is also published in Spanish.
