Howdy y’all!

I have a perplexing question. I’ve searched and searched for this answer with inconclusive information.

Horizontal lines burn perfectly, vertical lines are ALWAYS thinner when the object(vector) is one layer. Namely leather / leatherette. I’ve tried 2mm-4mm defocus, higher lpi, you name it…

Example; If I make the ‘outline’ of the item a separate layer and run it after the “detailed” part of the design, the horizontal/vertical lines will be the same size. See below. Is this software related? The honeycomb tray is absolutely level, mirrors clean, lens clean. 2" lens. AEON Mira 7 btw…

My apologies on the second picture - I didn’t LA Awesome the leather after, it cleans up perfectly.

Run as one layer

Run as separate layer

      Have you set up the Scanning Offset Adjustment table and enabled it, so that the edges of alternate vertical lines will start at the same position? If not, the edges of vertical lines may be underexposed and produce slightly thinner results, which is what the first picture suggests.

This is easier to diagnose in something like acrylic or cardboard, where you can see every scan line. Do your tests & measurements on disposable material, then check the results on a scrap piece of the good stuff.
