Color Mapping Tab
The Color Mapping feature is an advanced feature that must be checked to
activate. While Color mapping is a very powerful tool, most users use it for two
main reasons:
1. Using color so that multiple Speed and Power setting can be used in a single
print job. Multiple speed and power settings are most commonly used in
Vector mode when one color is used for marking and another color is used
for cutting.
2. Using different colors allows users the ability to sequence the order that
objects will be cut or engraved.
Color Mapping accomplishes these two tasks by assigning different attributes to
the different colors in your artwork. The functions that can be controlled by color
are: Speed, Power, Frequency (vector cutting only), Focus, Raster, and Vector.
Color Mapping can be used in Raster, Vector, or Combined modes. Color
Mapping only works in Basic engraving mode. It has no affect in 3D or Stamp
mode. To understand Color Mapping, we will create a couple of examples that
show the common uses for Color Mapping, but first a quick note about the use of
colors.
