Joe, Which color Alumamark? I found (by total mistake) that I only get good black lettering on the silver if it is about 1/8" out of focus. So I set my manual focus on a small sample piece of acrylic, then laser the silver and it comes out great. If I set the focus for the actual thickness of the alumamark it comes out a dull gray or brownish. I have a 25w Universal, I use the settings of 50p 50s.
