    Dude! Xtool's image tracing feature, and QR code generation made this so fast and painless!
    
    I just went online and found random draws of magical stuff, tarot, whatever, dropped them into the Xtool software and set sharpness to full, then traced the image with denoise at 0, fuzziness therehold set between 150 and 255, depending on what I see. I've found that first setting a black and white filter helps the tracing feature to work better. 
    
    Just like that, snap. Business cards created in less than ten minutes from scratch, with each copies taking about four minutes in total to zap out at high speed since scoring even at 80mm/s is much faster than engraving at 300mm/s.
    
    It's just a tiny bit of a shame that scoring, whatever can't be set to higher than 800mm/s, I imagine it'd work just fine with those cards at 300mm/s.
