Color swatches are screen approximations and may not match the actual material. Refer to a physical color chart for exact matching.
Enter a Hex, RGB, or CMYK value. An optional label can hold a color name or reference such as a color number.
CMYK values use percentages from 0 to 100. The entered value is kept in the .bgs project; the canvas and current EPS/PDF exports use its RGB screen conversion.

Checking…The Beacon Cutter Bridge isn't running. It's a small Windows app that sends jobs straight to your cutter. Start it (look for its icon near the clock), then check again.
No bridge? You can still download the job as a .plt file and send it with your cutter's own software.

Match these to the settings on your cutter's panel.
