I'm new here, but have just finshed browsing thru this Laser Engravers forum to the beginning. I've noticed that everybody seems to use only Corel. I'm just curious if there is a special reason having to do with the actual use of the laser vs corel being included with some of the laser packages.

Corel is easier to start out on, but Illustrator is a more powerful program. The only one thing I prefer corel over Illustrator, is choosing fonts where corel (on the last version I used) would display the drop down menu with your actual text instead of just the name of the font in the font style.

Questions comments?
