Hey Guys!
I'm on day 4 with my speedy 400, and man am I impressed! What a treat! I've been dialing in settings but have noticed that I can only seem to cut vector paths at 500ppi. We often etch coaster sets with that are heavily graphical designs that often come our own or other designers screen printed artwork with many halftones and patterns, so I can easily achieve a desired etch quality with 333ppi settings and floyd steinburg dithering. Problem is when I send the artwork to job control at 333ppi it reads my red cut lines as black etch lines, when I send the identical artwork at 500ppi everything etches and cuts seamlessly as it should. I'm wondering if there is any way to send a job to job control that etches at 333ppi and cuts at 500ppi, since these are separate tasks I don't see how this can't be an option. As a temporary solution I have been sending as two separate jobs, the etch at 333 first and the cut at 500 after. Any advice from those who have been using job control longer than I have would be greatly appreciated!
