Any thoughts on them? How do you like Engrave Lab. If you have the 'pro series', I beleive, it comes with them. I have downloaded the Engrave Lab demo and it talks about '100' engraving fonts. I have a serious need for engraving fonts and haven't located a source for them that are packaged together.

what version do you have? I am thinking about buying it. *.plt files seem to work the best for us over our range of different engraving systems. Depands on how your engraving controller reads them, as to whether they cut at a reasonable speed.įor instance, my old Meistergram controller appears to read each node and engraves those files in what I can only describe as a very hesitant manner. I learn something new everyday.Ĭut and paste from Coreldraw works, but the files tend to be pretty jagged. I use signlab with all the engraving modules, ver 5 (not for my laser tho) and I just cut and paste from Corel to SLab - should be similar for engravelab ? Easy enough to save files from Corel in that form Engravlab will NOT read these, so depending on where you re going with your business, keep that in mind.Ĭorrection there. I have a Mercury also and the ONLY time I use(d) engrave lab was with my Rotary engraver, however now I have figured it out in Corel.Ĭorel is the industry standard ( awards and engraving) and most people will have corel files. Once you learn the basics of Corel, ( it won't take long) you will be much happier. I was wondering why I hadn't seen you here. You will be able to see on your screen that the text looks filled black. Then go to View, make sure 'show fill' has a check by it. You want your text to be filled in black. Left clicking on a color changes the fill. Go down and left click on the black color. If these aren't selected and/or if anymore is selected it can cause it to mess up like what you are describing. On the preferences tab, there should be 3 things selected, Plate Area, Bitmaps and Print as shown on screen. The laser will default to vector type engraving/cutting with any line that is hairline or thinner. In engravelab, fill the text with black and set it to have NO outline

Just use Corel for the mercury, there is almost no advantage (apart from a few functions) to use engrave lab, the drivers were written for Corel. So, how do I create the text in Engrave Lab and get it to engrave instead of vector cut? Thanks! When using Engrave Lab to create the text, the edges are perfect, but I'm only getting a vector cut and not an egraving. If I save text from PhotoShop and import it to Engrave Lab I'm able to get the text to engraved, but the edges are pixilated. I'm a newbie and I'm trying to engrave text into a variety of materials using a Mercury 25W and Engrave Lab.
