No one has told us they used one of those tools with our software, but it makes sense considering the way the gcode is generated. If it does not retract the tool in common black areas, it would put too much side load on the tool if not constantly impacting with enough stroke to raise off the material slightly on each impact.
When using a dithered image and Feed Rate Change, the tool would retract and run at a higher feedrate in white areas. But looking at your settings screenshot, that version of PicEngrave does not have FRC.
We do offer a program called PicFRC that adds the Feed Rate Change to PicLaser gcode and it may work with that version of PicEngrave gcode also, but you would need to test that with the Demo.
