  1. Hi, well, first off you have to know that the Epilog-driver behaves like absolute garbage. Besides its quirks it crashes a lot because it is not really optimised to run under system environments newer than Windows XP. Nontheless we have it running under Windows 10 which works quite well, but you have to bear certain things in mind. First off, every document must have the exact size of the laser bed. If its smaller than this, it is probable that rendering problems will happen. Second, everything you want the laser to cut out must be in vector form with a stroke width of 0.01 pt (just type it in, it will show as 0 pt after you pressed "Enter" but it will work). Furthermore, you must set all the laser settings in the Print--->Settings Menu in Affinity Designer. Changing options later in the Epilog Manager after you pressed "print" will cause a mess with a high probability. This should hopefully help you quite a bit Tom
  2. Hi guys, I have positive news: Affinity Designer now works for us with our Epilog Mini Laser (I tested the most recent release candidate of Affinity Designer too). The reason it lasted me so long to get it figured out is that the Epilog Manager is, taking the cost of the laser into consideration, a heap of junk. It isn't very stable and it sometimes acts very weird. In order to print from Affinity Designer you have to set the "piece size" (which you can find in the print settings of the Epilog Manager) to the exact same dimensions as the document of Affinity Designer. If it is even a little bit off, the Epilog Manager will absolutely butcher the file you want to laser. As I said, this is not a problem of Affinity Designer, but of the Epilog Manager so don't worry about this. So thank you guys for investigating this problem and solving it. We are very happy to use Affinity Designer in the future and can't wait to purchase our copy of the final product. Thanks again Tom
  3. Oh cool! When I am back at the office on Monday I'll try it out and let you know if it works. :)
  4. Hey there, I tried your new version of the beta today, but unfortunately the problem still consists. Do you already know when you'll fix the problem? Best regards Tom
  5. Hey guys, thanks for investigating this problem. I have exactly the same issue with our setup, consisting of: Windows 10 Pro Affinity Designer beta (newest version) Laser: Epilog Mini 18 (with the Epilog Job Manager) If there is anything I can help you with, like testing if your fix works, simply contact me. I would be glad to get this problem fixed as I really would like to replace CorelDraw with Affinity Designer. Best regards Tom
