For cutting it has to be a vector format, the software only accepts EMF
(Enhanced MetaFile) format, but anything that inkscape will accept will
do as it can convert.

For engraving/rastering then emf or any standard bitmap format will do.

Your image should be single colour only, with black where you want to
cut/mark.

The bed size is roughly A4, we havent measured it precisely yet.


Haven't finalised what to cover in the induction course, but i imagine
it will be cutting some card, and engraving+cutting a small acrylic
piece, with a fee to cover the material and laser running costs.
Hopefully within the next 2 weeks.
