About G-Mark Advance™

G-Mark Advance Marking Software has been exclusively designed for the LaserPro Stellar Mark marking system. The combination of the software, hardware and your imagination will give you the tools to create professional graphics, text and bar code images. G-Mark Advance allows you to be in control of every facet of the laser marking process. By becoming more familiar with the various features of the software, you can easily and safely harness the power of the Stellar Mark.

Engraving Jobs

If an engraving image is required, please refer to the test results below.

Spot delay
In the G-Mark Advance software, there are two ways to control the working speed – “spot delay” or “speed”.
When an engraving job is required, “Spot delay” is the key to control the engraving speed.
When marking jobs like text and barcode are required, “speed” is the key to control the marking speed.
For example:

For photos or other engraving images:
Speed: no effect
Spot delay: effect

For barcode, text or other vector image:
Speed: effect
Spot delay: no effect

Test results:
As you can tell the differences from the comparison below, Spot delay is the key to determine the quality and speed.
•Spot delay: 0.009/92 sec

•Spot delay: 0.013/96 sec

Jump parameter > Speed
Speed under Jump Parameter is how fast the laser will jump from the end point of first line to the start point of second line and so on.

Test result:
As you can tell the differences from the comparison below, Jump parameter > Speed is the factor for quality and speed control.
•Jump parameter > Speed: 500mms/228 sec

•Jump parameter > Speed: 1000mms/126 sec

Jump parameter > Delay
Delay under Jump Parameter is how much time the laser will stay at the start point of the second line and so on.

Test result:
As you can tell the differences from the comparison below, Jump parameter > Delay is the factor for quality and speed control.
•Jump parameter > Delay: 0ms/127 sec

•Jump parameter > Delay: 0.05ms/134 sec

•Jump parameter > Delay: 0.1ms/170 sec

Jump parameter > Speed
”Speed under Jump Parameter” is how fast the laser will jump from the ending point of the first line to the starting point of the second line and so on.

Test result:
As you can tell from the differences on the comparison below, “Jump parameter > Speed” is the factor for quality and speed control.
•Jump Param - Speed: 2000 mm/s

•Jump Param - Speed: 500 mm/s

Jump parameter > Delay
”Delay under Jump Parameter” is how much time the laser will stay at the starting point of the second line and so on.

Test result:
As you can tell from the differences on the comparison below, ”Jump parameter > Delay” is the factor for quality and speed control.

•Jump Param - Delay: 0 ms

•Jump Param - Delay: 0.5 ms

Frequency
It is the frequency of laser firing (how many times the laser is pulsed in a second). The lower the frequency is, the higher the power that is fired with each pulse.

For common marking materials such as wood and leather, a frequency of 20 KHz would be mostly recommended.

•Frequence: 20kHz

•Frequence: 5kHz

Start, Mid and End point delay
This function allows you to insert a delay at the beginning, midpoint, or end of each selected line.

Due to the speed at which the Galvo motors travel, a delay may be needed to overcome the problem of mirror inertia. If your marked line appears to be faded in either the beginning, middle or end portions, you may need to add a slight delay to compensate for the mirror inertia.

NOTE: Too little delay will result in faded or incomplete lines; too much delay will create hot spots or excess marking.

•Start point - Delay: 0ms

•Start point - Delay: 0.3ms

•Mid point - Delay: 0ms

•Mid point - Delay: 5ms

•End point - Delay: 0.2ms

•End point - Delay: 0 ms
