I cant believe this works!!!! I have the same xtool 20w (used same 17%@125mm/s) and I've been looking for new things to try. I've not been able to stop painting and trying this process. Thank you thank you thank you for making this video!!!!!!
Awesome pictures with color, I really like the look. I have in the past painted alot of oil canvasses. Now I bought my first lazer and this is so cool and perfect pictures. Oil painting took so long because of dry time. This method will speed up my paintings and they look professional. Thanks for posting this video. I subscribed to your chanel.
How do you get so much done? Do you have help? Do you not sleep? Your production is amazing. Excellent quality, everything you want in a laser business. I can't produce 1/10th the amount of finished goods that you can.
Definitely will try this out. Awesome work. I have been an artist my while life. Settings are definitely something that needs to be dialed in. I have an s1. So any help would be appreciated.
You have hiven a very good explanation here on how the images can be done.. and its nice to see you used my Facebook images as examples for the 20w settings👍
Wow, thanks for the video, these are so fantastic. I am awaiting on my replacement M1 from Xtool which is taking forever, however I will definitely give this a shot when and if it finally arrives. Just watching this video has given me so many ideas with the paint. Thinking white small bread and butter plates with a flat centre, you could do so much on those, they could be sold as collectlibles. So just doing one offs. Even mugs, cups, or tumblers and the list goes on. This technique will definitely expand my variety of items and methods of art work on my peices.
I just saw this my wife does these acrylic paints more pouring it but I will show her this video because I have been wanting to do laser etc I'm a wood turning this is amazing I wish I was better on the computer though but I think I will get the Xtool S1 with the 40W and the 20W what do you think ? You don't have a book or something that says where you can get the images?
At 12:27 you can see some S1 40W settings and then on my test files you can pause and see some of the settings I tried. Definitely had to play around with test files for 40W more than the 20W.
Aw, man, I loved all your images until I saw your Husky canvas LOL GO COUGS! I have a Glowforge Pro. I'm going to have to use this. I use Midjourney to use as inspiration for watercolor and mixed media. I'll have to use it for lasering on canvas panels.
I tried this on a M1 Ultra w/ the 10 W but, I didn't spray paint them. I used a foam brush and put 3 coats of yellow and then 3 coats of black but, when we did the material test it didn't come out good. Most of the test prints didn't even show the yellow paint underneath. Some of them were super scorched and almost burned thru the canvas panel. I wonder if the coats were too thick.
Have you ever separated the RGB color channels of a color photo, exported as separate images, imported those images as different burn layers/depths? This ideally should produce easy color match if the burn depths are ideal. Also have you tried working with UV reactive paints?
Have you tried extracting RGB layers from a full color photo as separate images to assign their own burn depth and burn to a Canvas that has Painted layers as RGB to match?
Great video! And it’s really got me thinking. I noticed in your bio that you’re a teacher also. I am as well and wondering if you’ve ever done a school fundraiser with this type of product. If so, what do you think you’d charge? I’m guessing it would depend largely on size but just trying to think of a starting point. I bet kids would have a great time spraying painting the canvases!
I have never given this a thought. I do a lot of acrylic pouring art on canvas. Will this work with a 60 watt CO2 laser? I guess need very low power or high speed. I have done this on ceramic tile.
what were your settings for 40w? I have not gotten my machine s1 yet just want to get notes and get ready for when it comes! Thank you for all your help. I work in glass and ceramics; it would be nice to see something in a cup or a flat glass project. :)
So that's it?! There's no adjust the power levels? The laser and software takes care of the rest? Prep the canvas, load the image in the software and press start? I just received an M1 Ultra and will definitely want to experiment with this.
Is it possible to vent projects done on the F-1 Ultra without spending $700? ...gulp... An inline fan/duct maybe? I LOVE your videos & ALL the projects you share with those of us who have creative minds and just need to know all the ways we can make them come to life! Thanks SO much!
Very cool! A couple of question please… my F1 Ultra is to arrive tomorrow (and of course I will be out of town) but have you tried this technique with the Ultra? I have the D1 10w but haven’t used it in a long time. I would assume it would work with it as well correct?
Question: I painted a canvas gold, blue, and black (top) using a 10w S1 system. I used 20% power with 125 speed. I'm getting white only against the black and not seeing the colors underneath. The white that I'm seeing is that the canvas, OR is the laser only grading the black to 'white.'
The xToolS1 looks small, but the canvas you hold up looks a decent size, can you advise as to the max size it(S1)can handle, and what sort of prices you are getting from the pictures you sell, thank You.
Im new to lasers, researching which one to buy. My wife is a big crafter, but I'm looking at this for a side hustle and this artwork is more my style. I've watched several of your vids and I'm still struggling with which one might be best for us. Clearly, a person needs one of each? :( The M1 ultra for my wife hands down. For me...doing these type of pieces...I believe that could/would work, but production time/capacity is my concern. The lack of S1 conveyor limits the size of production being one concern. You state 30 minutes to a couple hours in this video. I've seen vids online over 4 hours! That leads me to the F1 Ultra for speed, but then I'm limited to about 11" in height. Can anyone on here tell me production time on say a 2 color, black and white 8x10" on the different type for Xtool machines? Production time? For me, the P2S and F1 Ultra bundle seems the best but that leaves my wife somewhat out in her crafting options. :( I'm joining some FB groups and plans to get information there...thought I'd ask here while I'm waiting approval. TIA!
Thanks. The 20W is surprisingly powerful! Can handle all I want for a diode. If you end up wanting more than 20w on a diode, I’d save up for the P2 and get CO2.
Once you got your power/speed and other settings down, will that work for any design or have you found out that the settings need to change depending on what design you are using? By the way I love what you are doing.

How significant are the differences in your results using the 20W module vs the 40W? I know the 20W has a smaller dot size and a square dot vs the rectangular dot of the 40W, but I wonder to what extent this impacts the level of achievable detail in the real world. I have the 40W module, but no 20W to compare.
Would a 10W take forever? This is a great video but wondering if I should get the 20W if all I need is to engrave while I work on other woodworking projects. Would 10W be sufficient enough for what you just did?
Great question. Just tried it on the 10 watt. Takes longer, but totally works For most of the laser projects on my channel, outside of specialized acrylics, the 20watt is perfect for everything.
@@SixEightWoodworks I appreciate the quick response, you got a sub. I'm looking into expanding my woodworking projects and I feel like laser engraving could be a nice addition to my cash flow. Of course now I see the M1 Ultra review 😂
@@SixEightWoodworks What settings did you use for the 10W test? I'm waiting for my xTool F1 to come next week. 10W Blue Laser, 2W IR. Can or should you engrave canvas with IR? *Thz in advance!*
Great video! I've done the odd bit of playing with paint and laser but not much so far. I bought a load of white ceramic tiles, it was cheaper than canvases and multi use! Where I live, it tends to be a bit of a pain to go outside and spray paint and to be honest, since I don't do a lot of it, the cans tend to seize up....However, I have found that if you use a magic eraser torn into strips, you can dip into acrylic or other paint and get a really good, even layer, quite quickly. I can do that in my craft room easily and I already have lots of small tubes in loads of colours to use up. The other thing with using tiles to practice on, is that you can clean them off after and re use for more testing!
I’ve done a few pet portraits in B&W still messing around with multi colored. All made in 30W and 80W c02. I bet a diode would be best for this type of work, no?
I've now made a few attempts with different colors, different numbers of layers of paint and different images, but unfortunately the colors never come out properly, or only come out so weakly. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong :( Do you have any other tips? It's such a great way to use the laser, I love it
It depends on the size of canvas and whether you are engraving the whole or part of a canvas.. small images cam take from 30mins and up to several hours.. I've seen 6+ hrs on large pieces on an extended D1 20w
Genuine question. Whats the point really? I get that its very cool to do and experiment with but these are just for funsies right...like there cant be a market for this. All that time and machine energy on essentially a photo that somebody else cant print out on canvas much faster and higher quality. Id love to try this but it just seems like, goofing off?

I have the F1 Ultra coming. Wondering if I can pull this off with mine. Love these. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely! It’s got the 20w Diode option which should be pretty similar to the settings I had for the 20W S1.
@@SixEightWoodworkswhen I get far enough along and try it, I’ll post my results. Seems it would work to paint layers on metal business cards also.
Just found this channel. Love it. i have never tried this but want to. Any suggestions on settings for the 40 WT Thank you
watch the video, at 12 to 13 minutes he shows lion test files, you can see settings for 40w there 7 to 12 power 75 to 250 speed ect
Hi. Great video and super nice work. Do you use air assist on or off. Congrats again.
Anyone have any setting recommendations for D1pro 20W? Also air or no air? Thank you
Amazing video!!!
Would this work on stainless steel, aluminum plates, wood? Awesome video.
