LXI 26 has a completely new GUI* and is built from the ground up on a different engine than LXI 22. As such, it has new features including improved bitmap tracing, new image-enhancement plug-ins, and better support for print and cut workflows. Most of the familiar sign design tools are retained, but they work a little differently.
