  • Can I put more than one product on the same quote?

    Yes. A quote is built from one or more products, and each one carries its own quantity and its own cost lines — so 24 embroidered caps and 50 tumblers can sit on the same quote at different prices and different quantities. In the Items section, hit + Add product for a blank one, or pick from Add...

  • Can I put my own business name and logo on the quote?

    Yes — that is the point. Under Your business you can set your business name, tagline, website, phone, email, address, and a logo image URL. All of it prints at the top of the quote. If you want the header worded exactly your way, use the Company details shown on the quote box — whatever you type ...

  • Can I show or hide the cost breakdown on a quote?

    Yes, and you can choose per product. Each one has a Show on quote as setting: One line — the customer sees a single row: the product name, the quantity, the price each, and the total. This is the usual choice. Itemised — the customer sees each cost line as its own priced row underneath the produ...

  • Do my costs and margins ever show on the customer quote?

    No. What you pay for blanks, what you charge for machine time, your markup, your margin, your wholesale price and your profit are not on the customer document at all. This is not just hidden with styling that could fail. The printed quote is built from a completely separate record that has no cos...

  • How does the Project Calculator work?

    The Project Calculator prices a project before you cut. Enter your material cost, labor, machine time, and margin, and it gives you a customer total plus the full profit breakdown — gross profit, tax reserve, and what actually lands in your pocket. It is the same tool as the Quote Builder, just o...

  • How do I convert a LightBurn library to an xTool file (or back)?

    Use the File Converter: Upload your LightBurn .clb library (or an xTool XCS .json). The tool converts it to the other format, mapping cut/fill/line-engrave process types correctly. Download the converted file and import it into the other software. This is great when you switch machines or share...

  • How do I print a quote or save it as a PDF?

    Hit Print / PDF at the top of the tool. Only the quote itself prints — the form you were working in does not. To save a PDF instead of printing, choose Save as PDF as the destination in your browser's print dialog. Your browser normally stamps the page URL, the date and a page number on every pri...

  • What does the Line Density Converter do?

    The Line Density Converter translates engraving resolution between the units different software uses — DPI, LPI, and line interval (mm). LightBurn thinks in line interval; xTool and others often use DPI. DPI and LPI are treated as equivalent here. As always, confirm the look on a test grid.

  • What is the Quote Builder?

    The Quote Builder turns a job into a one-page quote your customer can actually read — your business name and logo at the top, a quote number, an expiry date, line items, terms, and a deposit figure. It has two sides, switched at the top of the tool: Costing — your side. Blank costs, machine time...

  • What is the Setting Converter and when should I use it?

    The Setting Converter estimates a starting point for a different wattage of the same laser type. Say a setting is for a 40W machine and you have a 60W — enter the source setting and your wattage and it gives three graded options: Balanced — hold the speed, adjust power. Faster — keep the power, ...

  • What is the Test Grid Generator?

    On LightBurn-machine setting pages you will find a Test Grid Generator in the sidebar. Give it a center power and speed (it prefills from the setting) and it builds a ready-to-run .lbrn2 grid where each square is a different power/speed combination. Run the grid on scrap, pick the square that loo...

  • What tools are included?

    Six free tools, all under Tools: Quote Builder — build a branded one-page quote you can send a customer. Project Calculator — work out what a job costs you and what to charge. Setting Converter — estimate settings for a different wattage. Line Density Converter — convert between DPI, LPI, and li...

  • Where do my saved quotes go?

    Hit Save and the quote goes to your Planner under Saved quotes, along with what the job costs you, what it sells for, and your profit. From there you can: Open in Quote Builder — reopen it with every product, cost line and branding field exactly as you left it, ready to tweak or re-send. Start p...
