This question pertains to Epilog lasers, possibly others as well.
I tried to "proof" a design yesterday by simple turning off combined mode and turning on just raster mode, and set it up for a light power setting.
The normal "vector" lines (hair line) never lasered at all, the carriage never even moved the pointer to the vectored areas.
Someone please remind me of what I have forgotten. I have done this before with no problem, and the hairlines, while light, were definitely visible.
I guess I could run the file in combined mode with equal settings for the raster and vector cuts, but that doesn't seem right.
Sorry to ask a "duh" question. Been a long couple of weeks, with little sleep and a steep learning curve.
In other news, the new blower came in on Wednesday, but I haven't taken it out of the box yet.
On the positive side, it looks like we just got an order for 600+ pieces, and have several other wholesalers talking to us. What is really cool is that we didn't chase them down. Sure surprised me.
On the down side, the ShopBot is down with some electronic problems., but fortunately most of the orders are laserable.
David - Who has been awake for the better part of two days. I think I remember that I said I would never do this again.... yea, that was me - I think.
