Re: Poor quality photo engraving

This engraving was done with photograv settings ed density to 0
histogram black to 0 white to 255 and gamma to 1. 300 DPI 57% power 300 mm sec and interval set to 0.0847.

Re: Poor quality photo engraving

Thank you for all the information. I'll definitely check it out.
