increase your speed to medium, change your fill style to reverse spiral and increase the spring tension on your spindle. this will give you not only more shine but a neat dimensional effect.

Thanks for the tips. I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet, as I've been busy with business :-) 

I thought that the depth (tension) might not be enough so it's been a shallow engraving.

DS -

I've tried what you said, but it isn't working. I have proximity sensors on.

I have increased the depth of engraving as well, to no avail. the same funky shimmer in one direction, but dull in another direction.

Bad tip, perhaps?

For the heck of it, turn on the spindle motor while dragging. Use a low spindle speed. It usually gives a nice effect.
