Hi! new to lightburn and trying to get a vector logo to mark cleanly on leather… and no matter the overscan setting I try, or direction of fill, speed, and dpi - always seem to have this issue… extra lines marked between objects in the logo, which makes it look like there’s actually no gap.

red is where the edges of logo are supposed to be, blue shows the extra cut lines.

      Leather has given me trouble getting fine lines cut. One thing that helps tie it together is to add a LINE cut around the shape. Also, check your MINIMUM power setting.
-or-
Turn down the power and speed. If your laser is cranking out a high level of power, it takes a millisecond for the laser power to dissapate, Moving the head of the laser slower at a lower power will give it more time to bleed off the excess energized power in the laser. Think of a garden hose that is going at full blast. When you turn off the faucet, there is still water in the hose that is moving to the end of the hose.

I have found that OFFSET fill helps with keeping the edges clean, too.
