The font you used in your logo for the example is great. I like the look. I am new to this, been 3d printing for years, but tired of having to rebuild them after every catastrophic failure. Not saying laser won't have their issues, but a few people I know use diode, and Co2 laser with most issues being user generated, or bad materials. Rest appears to be maintenance. I ordered my first laser and should be here this weekend. So these tips are great, I really like the one for adding the vector outline, seems to make the images much sharper.
Welcome to the laser world. Most of the issues I’ve seen are usually user caused, lack of maintenance that caused them, or quality of build for the machinery. It kind of varies. I will say that I’ve had less issues with lasers than I did when I had a 3D printer. I also got tired of prints failing hours in and things like that.
If you create 2 different logos in illustrator and send them to the epilog UI together, is there a way to change the location of 1 logo while the other stays put? Would be useful for printing multiple things at once on boards that have pieces missing from prior use. Thank you!
You can use color mapping to set up your engraving as one color and the vector outline as another color. Then you just assign different speeds and powers. I have a video on vector scoring if you search my channel. That will help you with the vector outline part.

Have you tried to ungroup them and move them around?
How do you do an engrave and an outline? Where do you set that up at?

Good tips, thanks for sharing.
I’m glad that you found it helpful.
