- 32 Bit Engraving Software
- Network compatible: send a job to any Xenetech system on the local area network
- Vector & raster engraving in the same job
- 4 different points of origin to coordinate with home positions set at the laser system (X left-Y top, X center-Y center, X center-Y top, X center-Y left).
- Bottom-up engraving and color-controlled power settings dramatically reduce residue impregnation in porous or tacky materials
- Customizable rubber stamp and auto-seal mode with auto-reverse image
- Rubber stamp mode allows for “shouldering” tapered cuts and basic 3-D engraving
- 256 color/greyscale output
- Set power, speed and engraving sequence by color
- Data output compression
- Enhanced throughput speed
- Variable ASCII text input is used to create multiple or batch plate layouts.
