Hello,
I am about to purchase my second laser. I currently have a Epilog Mini 24 40 Watt, have owned it for 4 years. I am looking at purchasing either a Epilog Fusion 40 75/120 watt(depending on what price my rep can give me) or the Trotec Speedy 400 60/80 Watt(depening on price given by Rep.).
I have Demo'd a Trotec 3 times and was blown away by the raster speed, but had a tough time wrapping my head around the Job Control software and not having a "Set home" position. On my third visit I started to understand it a little and began to thought that I could wrap my head around it with time.
95% of my business is rastering.
My hesitation with going with Trotec is that the Job control software will take so long to set up each job that the increased speed wont make any difference. With Epilog it's so simple to load a job in Corel, print, set my home position and go. With Trotec it seems to be so many extra steps to print. I have been mulling this over in my head for weeks. Basically not pulling the trigger until I search every nook and cranny for info and opinions.
I also have a part time employee who will be using the Laser about 10/30 hours a week, depending on work load. Not sure if the Trotec will be too complex for them to learn & eventually master? Thanks so much, I really appreciate this forum!
