LightBurn DPI Settings Explained, Laser Engraving Test Results

Ever wondered how DPI settings actually affect your laser engraving results? In this video, I run a side-by-side test using different DPI settings to show how they impact engraving depth, clarity, and overall finish.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to fine tune your settings, this simple demo makes it easy to see the difference DPI makes.

I'm using my Aeon Mira 9 and simple grayscale image to highlight what really changes as you tweak those resolution settings.

🛠️ Gear Used: Aeon Mira 9 80W CO₂ Laser
🎯 Material: MDF
📐 Test Image: Custom grayscale Mustang

Let me know your go-to DPI setting in the comments below.
