I concur with Harvey -- it gives you a decent starting point but not much beyond that. The sad proof of that is the fact that the settings I quoted you for one Rowmark product didn't work on another Rowmark product (not even close really). One thing that I didn't mention was the resolution: mine is in metric so I'm not going to try to translate to dpi right now, but I ran the passes quite close together -- about 85% of the way to peak resolution.

Thanks guys!
I did the test I referred to earlier. I'm going to attempt to post it here. (haven't posted any attachments yet). I ran it on the Metalgraph Plus. I used color mapping in the driver to set up 10 squares-1/2 x 1/2 and ran them at the associated speeds and power at 400dpi and 600dpi. The results are pretty evident that on my machine I got a better result with this particular material at 600dpi and slower speeds, higher power.
