Stop wrestling with image prep and settings
- •Manually removing backgrounds and adjusting contrast for every image wastes time.
- •Guessing power and speed settings leads to wasted material and failed jobs.
- •Jumping between apps for image editing and engraving breaks your flow.
- •Most tools offer no help-just endless menus and trial-and-error.
Light Lane's AI Assistant tunes images and suggests settings for your material and laser. You stay in control-override anything, anytime.
