Higher speed for bitmap images only

We recently started beta testing for two big improvements to engraving - we increased the top speed of engravings, and we gave you the ability to engrave while the head was still coming up to speed in the margins. We’ve had a number of reports of issues for vector engravings, so to take advantage of these features, you’ll want to convert them to bitmaps before engraving. To do that, select the vector image, then click Object->Rasterize (Illustrator) or Edit->Make a Bitmap Copy (Inkscape). Note that in Inkscape you’ll also need to delete the original image.
