Linda,
I cut the red lines using 100 speed at 30 power. It seems to work good. The cuts are very sharp and I get a slightly thicker line by cutting slightly out of focus. What works for me is to manually focus and then drop the table 5 to 10 steps of the focus button. Ten steps works good for me except I wouldn't go that far with really fine text. Do some trial and error.
For the blue and black lines, I sure wouldn't slow down the speed too much. You'll really char the wood at 5-10% speed. I'd try somewhere between 20-25% speed.
I'd set the frequency to 500.
Red: 30 power; 100 speed, 500 freq
Black and Blue: 100 power; 25 speed, 500 freq
Give it a try and see if that helps. (Also, cut red "out of focus" and black and blue at proper focus if the red cuts don't have enough depth of field)
