Laser News

With the addition of 276 new files, all layouts for new 2023 product are complete. The full list of files this includes can be found on the Laser Files Change Log.

The digital workbook has been updated and is available at wholesale.prgrahamdunn.com/workbook. This provides a one-stop location to find product information, layout options, and to download photography/image assets for laser product.
Many of the new files make use of a few new fonts: Life Savers Bold, Lofty Goals, and Sacramento Regular. You will need to install these fonts to your computer before trying to use any files that reference them. The recommended way to update your fonts is to download only the new fonts from this ZIP archive, extract the three files from the archive, and right-click & select "Install for all users" on each of the three font files. You must close and reopen GravoStyle for changes to take effect (GravoStyle loads the list of fonts only once on program startup).
To get the new GravoStyle files you can either perform a regular file update, or use this ZIP archive to get just the new files.

A layout “refresh” is complete, adding 64 new files covering a wide variety of existing products.

A recent Windows Update has been causing problems for GravoStyle, CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator and other programs that effectively use the printer/plotter driver for the L-Solution engravers (e.g. LS100). Since GravoTouch communicates with the engraver differently it is NOT affected. If you're getting a "Bitmap error" message that pops up when sending a job, a solid rectangle engraves (or shows up on the Preview in GravoStyle) where an imported PNG or JPG should be, or you get an "empty" file (a zero time job that does no actual engraving / the Preview in GravoStyle is completely blank) then you'll need to remove the offending update from your computer.
A quick way to remove the update is outlined in this PDF: How to Remove the Windows Update. For recent Windows builds (20H2 and probably 2004), the update is KB5000802. For older Windows builds (e.g. 1909), the update is KB5000808. You'll probably also want to pause Windows Updates for a while so that the update does not automatically reinstall itself. Open the Windows Settings app, click on Update & Security, and click Pause updates for 7 days (or click Advanced options to pick a longer amount of time to pause).
