3. PREPARING YOUR DRAWING
On the laser, you can use up to 16 colors in one drawing.
Take into account that different types of software may use different line thicknesses.
Important:
- Anything you want to cut needs to be a vector,
and needs to be converted into a hairline.
- Use black to engrave. This can be a thicker line or an image.
- Use red for lines you want to cut.
- It’s best to engrave first and cut after.
- For complicated designs that need to be precise, you can use several colors to cut.
It’s best to compose your design in such a way that it is lasered from the inside out,
since the material can shift a little when cut loose. This can cause small deviations.
The laser follows the order of the colors shown in CorelDraw when you set
your values for speed and power, working from the top down.
By taking this into account, you can determine the order in which lines will be cut
and engraved.
