Hi Gang;
I think that there are a few misconceptions going on here with regard to the statement "Prints directly from Corel". Perhaps the question should be: Does it print directly from a cdr file? I noticed from the Turnkey website that cdr's are not supported and suspect that this system uses the same general software as all the other chinese lasers-call it Lasercut, Laserwork, etc-whatever. All require the cdr to be imported into the software as an AI, dxf, or other file types.
One real test is how does it handle Coreldraw line widths? Must all lines be converted to filled objects in Corel before being imported? How about text? Is text treated as a vector object or as a bitmap?
I have found that the content of many of my cdr files has be be modified in order to run on the Chinese software-all raster info must be converted to a bitmap, vector info added, and then the whole thing converted to an AI file and imported. Otherwise weird things happen. Its not that the system/software is bad-its just different from the "traditional" Coreldraw approach and requires a different design methodology and thought process.
Best Regards,
