Premium Leatherette Settings - Colours and Engraves to Metallic

The metallic layer in the leatherette is a thin foil layer right underneath the surface. If you
are seeing the outlines of metallic layer, then you have burnt off the metallic layer and went too deep. If this happens, try increasing your speed or back off on your power. To increase consistency, try taking it slightly out of focus and lower your DPI/PPI/Line in intervals.

Extra Tips:

*Don’t go too slow and try a lower frequency(hz) as this will help decrease flaming
*Any remaining soot can be wiped clean with a microfiber cloth & LA Awesome cleaner
*Use a Sekalma mat or magnets to help hold your sheet down flat
*It's recommended to raster all designs first & then go back and cut out shapes

The above settings should be used as a starting point as machines can differ and are expressed in percentages, not millimetres, as some laser settings are.
