Section 7: Using the Epilog Dashboard
Vector
Vector mode is used to mark or make a thin line drawing. The Vector Speed,
Power and Frequency bars will be enabled when you have selected Vector under
Job Type.
Note - Artwork, such as scanned images, photos, JPEGs, etc will not vector cut
because they do not contain thin lines of any kind.
Note: When you are cutting in Vector or Combined mode be aware that your best
results are typically produced at slower speeds. The highest speeds are
specifically designed for draft mode or less demanding applications where speed
is much more important than quality.
Note – Very thin lines are used to define Vector cutting and the definition of
“thin” varies depending on the Resolution being used. The following table shows
which line weights will vector cut at different resolutions when in Vector or
Combined mode. As a general rule, most users set their vector line weights to
.001 inch.
Example: The rectangle below has a line weight of 0.001 inch. It will vector at
any resolution (see following chart).
Line weight = 0.001 inch.
