  Farewell 2011...

2011 was a great year for Epilog Laser. We’ve accomplished so much and are beyond grateful for the continued support from our customers, distributors, associates and friends.  In an uncertain economic climate we are proud to have grown as a company and become more connected with our customers.

As we prepare for a stellar 2012, we look back this year with a sense of pride for accomplishments including:

  • An invitation to attend Autodesk University to demo Autodesk’s new 123D Make software. Over 9,000 people attended this conference/expo and got to see our lasers in action as we cut out different materials to make amazing 3D models.

  • Being invited back to the 2011 WIRED Store to showcase the Epilog Zing 16 Laser. We love showing off the Epilog Zing and doing custom engravings at the Store. This year was the biggest yet – 10,000 square feet of cool new gadgets in the heart of Times Square.

  • Teaming with Emmy-winning show Everyday Edisons for seasons four and five - Thousands of hopefuls are screened each season by the Everyday Edisons crew. Only a lucky handful are selected as “Everyday Edisons”. Those lucky enough to be named finalists will have access to an Epilog Laser system to help create their inventions.

  • Having a record-setting sales month in August, followed by a record-setting sales week in September.

  • Receiving another patent for our Waveguide™ laser tubes. This is the second patent Epilog has received for our Waveguide laser technology.

 


  • Being a sponsor of the 2011 USA Pro Cycling Challenge -  the race features the world’s top professional cyclists battling the steep grades, hairpin turns, and terrifying descents of the Colorado mountains over one of the highest altitude courses ever created.

  • Partnering with Instructables.com to launch two more Epilog Challenges! One winner created an Arduino Powered Chess Playing Robot and the most recent winner who created a 3D laser printer!

  • Collecting nearly $1600 and over 550 toys for our annual toy drive for American Military Family, Inc. - we even had extra toys left over that will be heading to to the children of airmen at Buckley Airforce Base!

We’ll continue working hard to ensure 2012 will be filled with even more exciting announcements and accomplishments, but wanted to take this moment to thank you - our customers - for your support in making 2011 one the best years in the history of Epilog. Best wishes for a promising new year!



 
 


 
 
Technical Library: Find and Replace a Color in CorelDRAW

The Find and Replace feature in CorelDRAW is a very useful tool for replacing color fills or outlines within a design. Replacing colors with varying shades of gray will result in an interesting and unique look when engraved with the laser.

The Find and Replace a color feature can also be used in design files to convert colors to match any Color Mapping settings you may have set up ahead of time
