This guide shows how to use xTool P3 to engrave a screen with xTool software. Please carefully read the precautions before operation.

Note

  1. The framing fixing piece for xTool P3 is sold separately.
  2. So far, xTool P3 supports only steel-mesh screens (blue) and not Fast-engrave Sceen (black).

  1. This guide works for screens of both normal and small sizes.
  2. Use the framing fixing piece for xTool P3 with slats rather than honeycomb panel, as the latter sits higher than the surrounding working surface.
  3. To learn more about screen printing, visit support.xtool.com/product/29.

Steps

Step 1: Install the frame fixing piece

  1. Align the frame fixing piece holes with the two pins of the xTool RA3 fixing piece.
