Понимание оснований ясного, Crisp Laser Engraving
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why does my laser engraver suddenly produce blurry or uneven results?» — you’re not alone. Whether you’re using a beginner-friendly diode engraver or a high-precision system like the КомМаркер Омни 1 или Титан 1, blurry engraving usually points to a fixable issue—not a faulty machine.
А лазерный гравер works by focusing a beam of light onto the surface of a material to vaporize or ablate it with precision. But when something is off—focus, скорость, optics, or the material itself—that crisp precision turns into fuzzy lines, обожженные края, or faded text.
Let’s break down the seven most common causes of blurry laser engraving and how to troubleshoot them.
Вершина 7 Causes of Blurry Laser Engraving (and How to Fix Them)
1. Out-of-Focus Laser Beam
The #1 culprit. If your laser isn’t perfectly focused, the beam spreads wider than intended, leaving a blurry or charred mark.
- Symptoms: Wide or soft lines, low contrast, scorched edges
- Решение: Refocus the laser to the correct focal distance.
- For ComMarker machines, this is easily done via Электрический автофокус or a manual gauge.
- Use a ramp test to find the sharpest point (especially helpful if you’re unsure of the factory focus spacer).
2. Dirty or Fogged Lens
Пыль, курить, and oil can build up on your lens—even with enclosed machines like the Омни 1. A dirty lens scatters the beam and reduces engraving accuracy.
- Symptoms: Faded marks, heat spots, inconsistent lines
- Исправить:
- Use a microfiber cloth with isopropyl alcohol
- Clean the lens and mirrors every 10–20 hours of use
- Replace scratched or discolored lenses
3. Wrong Speed or Power Settings
Balance is everything. Too fast? You’ll get shallow engravings. Слишком медленно? You risk overburn and blurred details.
- Quick Fixes:
- Run a LightBurn Material Test Grid to dial in the best settings
- For wood: Начните с 600 mm/s @ 30% власть
- For acrylic: Try 500 mm/s @ 35–50% power
- For metal: Use a волоконный лазер like Titan 1 with pulse-width control for best clarity
4. Material Movement or Shift
If your material wiggles mid-job, you’ll get ghosting or double images.
- Common Causes:
- Loose clamps, inadequate jigs, air assist turbulence
- Solutions:
- Use strong magnets, corner brackets, or a honeycomb bed
- For mugs, стаканы, and curved objects, use a вращающееся приспособление like ComMarker’s 360° fixture
5. Loose Belts, Rails, or Mounts
Even a slight mechanical wobble causes misalignment—especially during fine raster engravings.
- Проверять:
- X and Y axis belts (should feel taut, not floppy)
- Linear rails (clean with dry brush and re-lube monthly)
- Исправить: Follow your engraver’s maintenance guide or contact ComMarker support for service tips.
6. Vibration from Table or Nearby Devices
You wouldn’t engrave on a trampoline—so don’t put your laser on a wobbly desk. Even a nearby 3D printer or fan can introduce vibration.
- Исправить:
- Place your laser on a крепкий, heavy table
- Добавлять anti-vibration feet or foam dampeners
- Avoid placing engraver near heavy foot traffic or machinery
7. Low-Resolution Artwork or Software Errors
Not all files are created equal. A low-res PNG will never look as sharp as a properly prepped vector or 600 DPI bitmap.
- Optimize Your Files:
- Use SVG or AI for text and logos
- Convert images to grayscale with high contrast
- Set DPI between 300–600 in LightBurn or EZCad
- Avoid using images with less than 72 DPI—they’ll always look pixelated
Diagnosing Laser Engraving Problems by Symptom
| Symptom | Likely Cause |
|---|---|
| Burned or soft edges | Out of focus, медленная скорость, or overpowered |
| Double lines | Loose belts or unstable material |
| Weak engraving | Dirty lens or incorrect height |
| Wavy lines | Table vibration or belt slippage |
| Misaligned design | File issue or material shifting mid-job |
Pro Tips for Sharp Laser Engraving
- Run test grids every time you switch materials
- Refocus when engraving thicker items or switching substrates
- Чистый optics and rails every 10–20 hours
- Save settings per material (LightBurn libraries make this easy)
- Use jigs to align repeat jobs and batch runs
ComMarker Users: Easy Clarity Wins
- Омни 1 УФ: Use ZeroBurn™ mode for crisp lines on plastics and glass
- Титан 1 Волокно: Set pulse width for darker blacks or color variations
- Use LightBurn’s Focus Tool to visualize and correct off-focus areas before engraving

Часто задаваемые вопросы: Blurry Laser Engraving Troubleshooting
вопрос: My engraving is blurry only on one side. Почему?
→ Your gantry might be misaligned, or your table isn’t level. Check both with a spirit level or calibration square.
вопрос: Can engraving get blurry even if my preview looks sharp?
→ Yes! The beam and motion system are physical—what you see on screen doesn’t always match if your machine isn’t clean or calibrated.
вопрос: Do I need to recalibrate focus for different materials?
→ Absolutely. Even 1mm of height difference can throw off your focus point.
вопрос: Is LightBurn better for solving clarity issues?
→ Yes. LightBurn gives you full control of speed, власть, ДПИ, and even beam overlap, helping you fine-tune precision.
