Dithering your file can result in a better overall image. This depends on material, settings, and file detail. Dithering may be done via photo editing software such as Affinity or Photoshop. The Epilog Dashboard also has dither patterns that can be selected when sending your file. A dither is not required for all engrave projects. As with most laser cutting, we recommend testing your file prior to doing a final pass.
