I’m engraving some Golf Tees. 10 at once. Positions are set. I pasted 10 small .jpg images of my lettering into the very tight tolerances of the thin tees. All set. Then when the burn started, the laser went way out of the printing zone, with long filled traversal areas on both sides of the lettering. See picture attached. what do I need to do for lightburn to just engrave the black areas and not travel the extra path?
Thanks for your help!

      I’m assuming you’re using a GRBL controller based on your profile.
      
      A few options:
      
      1. Disable overscan in Cut settings
      2. Reduce overscan in Cut settings
      3. Reduce speed in Cut settings so that overscan gets reduced
      4. Increase the acceleration of your machine to decrease required overscan distance. This would require more careful tuning of your machine settings.
      
      Note that all of these options would potentially affect the quality of the burn so be aware.
