Vista is no doubt the worse OS. Convert it over to Windows 7 for a smoother run. My Gateway laptop was Vista, the first to be exact...now with Windows 7 Ultimate, 4 gigs of RAM, and 500GB 7200rpm...

CorelDraw X5 is the best for the money. you have a Vector and Raster program suite. If you go with Adobe, you would have to purchase Photoshop and Illustrator independently, unless you buy the...

[QUOTE=Braden Todd;2079354]I have been having some quality issues with my Epilog Helix 60 watt machine. I seem to be getting less quality from it compared to my 75 watt EXT, which shouldn't be the...

Has anyone done halftone photos on their laser tape and been successful? If so, what angle frequency, LPI, halftone pattern ( dots, elliptical, lines, hatch, square, etc)? What type of material you...

$1595 for a new laser tube? 60 watts? Wow! My laser stop firing last month. Epilog told me it would be $4995 to replace the laser tube plus shipping. Thank goodness my background is in electronics...

Did Kern give you some settings that your material was cut at? 150 watts is a lot for a laser. I guess I need to do some research on this material. What application is it used for?

I see that we are going specifics. First off, if you are using a laser to mark ( Abrasion of the surface) glassware, that would be etching. Engraving is referred to cutting into the surface by the...

Incorrect? Dan, did you not just re-literate what I previously explain? Where as you engraving on Riedel high-quality leaded glass ( No Impurities on Inclusions) compared to Dollar Tree glasses....

With my experience Jinan G. Weike is a good company to deal with. Sealed C02 laser tubes are universal; however, the tubes cost more than buying a complete machine depending on the wattage. Plus you...

David, if you don't mine? i am interested to learn how you are setup in Illustrator with the Epilog? I tried it a couple of times but it seems to want to go in the middle of the table. As with Corel,...

I personally stay away from laser etching Crystal. Crystals have more Lead content than silica which makes the glass dense...no air pockets. Cheap glass doesn't have lead just silica. Cheap glass...

Actually Dave, Epilog does make a Chuck Type. It is targeted towards their FiberMark Lasers but will work with C02 lasers. It is very expensive...i believe $1800 to $2400.

What type of machine do you have? I would like to get a Chuck style for me Epilog. I have the Friction style and do not care for it. If I can find a Chuck style to convert over to the 8 pin plug that...

I realize this can be frustrating. However, cutting cost doesn't mean buying cheaper quality. Whether we like to deny that fact that we are buying Chinese products, very few products are native...

I can answer a few of your questions. I have done many imports in the past. Personally, I would not consider Redsail at all.
I run three type of lasers, CamTech L20, Epilog Legend 36EXT 60 watt,...

I switched from Adobe CS3 Suite to CorelDraw X4 then to X5 Corel Designer Technical Suite. Leave X6 alone...it has bad glitches and does not run well on 64 bit. I stay with 32 bit and nice size HDD....

Who did you buy from? I find that alot of the Chinese company will act like it is your fault with the equipment.
If it is a bad weld job, then yes it will be hard to fix. You should not have to pay...

I run a LG3040 40/50 watt with a CW5000 chiller with a 40/60 Antifreeze and distilled water mixture. I keep my chiller set at 72 degrees. This chiller is the best to work with, no doubt.

I have done many of glasses on my Epilog Legend 36EXT 60watt. The best results is Dollar Store glasses, running images at 60% black, 50% speed and 50% power. A piece of steel wool will clean up any...

I run an Epilog Legend 36EXT. I found that if you initially adjust your periscope mirror, let's say...180 degrees out to far. It would cause this effect. It is easy to do and trying to correct with...

Personally I would suggest CorelDraw X5 and VCarve Pro by Vectric. Corel will allow you to be creative and VCarve Pro could convert Corel saved formats into Gcode formats. You need nothing else.
