4.2.3.2 VENUS Print Driver >> Pen Page
The LaserPro VENUS incorporates the use of 16 different colors to represent 16 different laser power and
speed settings when cutting. These colors are referred to as “Pens”. Think of each pen as a designated
laser setting, rather than as a color. As an example, a black and white image will use only one power and
speed laser setting (Black). An image that is made up of black, red and blue colors will be processed using
the laser settings designated for each particular color. In order to utilize up to 16 different pens (laser
parameter settings), make sure your graphics software can recognize and utilizes the 16 pen colors
designated by the VENUS print driver.
If you would like to specify your own colors to designate to a particular laser setting, then all you have to do is
to double-click on that particular pen color from the pen menu and a color manager window will open where
you can select “define custom colors” to define your own color (shown in the picture below). This is useful when
your image is composed of colors that are not part of the pen menu’s default color selection, and instead of
modifying your image, you simply would like to assign the laser settings based on the existing colors based on
your current image.
