I have used AI, and last few years CorelDraw 2019, and have stuck with CD, i just fits me better.
I have an Epilog Radius 25W that just keeps chugging along with a 20 year old Synrad tube that wont die.
But I HATE the old clunky Radius printer driver.
And I know the Radius machine's days are numbered.
I have noticed Lightburn with it's "All-in-One" capability with the Ruida based lasers, And was thinking that is the way to go,, but with a RF based machine.
I was even toying with the idea of gutting the electronics and motors out off the Radius and refurbishing it with a Ruida controller, new PS and motors.
I got a trial copy of LightBurn and have been looking deeper at it.
I much prefer Corel's design atmosphere over Lightburns.
With Corel/Epilog driver, line width controls raster/vector, my preferred method.
Lightburns whole machine control section seems overly complicated?? maybe it has to be to fine tune the hundreds of different machines and tubes?
Maybe I should be dropping the idea of upgrading my Radius with a Ruida and running Lightburn?
Perhaps I should go back to looking for a used Epilog that is still factory supported and has a more modern driver.
Thinking I am spoiled with an American machine that has hardware and driver that are designed to work exceptionally together??
Am I missing something with LightBurn ??
