Hey guys, long time no see.
I just started working an a knife shop that does a lot of custom engraving on the knives they sell. They recently (6 months) ago bought a phoenix 1212 with vision 4 controller. The owner is very unhappy with the software with the controller, so much so if this machine was stolen or was burned in an isolated fire within the shop everyone would be happy.
One of the other guys here looked at another controller that utilized corel draw (that is also being used for the epilog laser we have). But that was 4k and we're unsure if it is worth the additional money after buying this machine.
So, can anyone recommend a good controller for this engraver that is more user friendly and possibly works with corel? Thanks.
