Thanks Mike. I printed your reply. As you know, I'm still experimenting with this stuff. I haven't engraved any of the granite yet, but I think I am going to take all the advice I have been given and test each one on the granite I have. That will give me a good idea of which works best, at least on this particular stone. Thanks again.

Larry:
Use every sq in of the stone. Below is a pic of a piece of stone I used to test on--it is black absolute and has since been completely filled.
Good luck.
Mike

Mike:
I ran one of these big pieces of granite this morning. I put a large photo that I made of some boats on it, 10" x 22". I used a setting of 100 speed-44 power, took 26 minutes. It turned out beautifully. I ran the whole thing, photo, text and all at 300dpi. This setting was recommended by a guy in the Sawmill Creek forum that has an Epilog 40w, same as mine. It worked great. Thanks for all your help and advice, I appreciate it. I'll post a photo when I can get one made.
