X252Rx & X380Rx Print Driver >> Stamp Page - GCC Technologies LaserPro X252RX User Manual

o Enhance Dithering [DEFAULT SETTING: Unselected]
Selecting this will produce a finer dithering output.
Error Diffusion (Raster Page)
Interprets and outputs the raster engraving via the error diffusion method. This mode will allow you
to select from three diffusion types: Floyd, Stucki, and Jarvis.
o Diffusion Type: Floyd, Stucki, Jarvis
Each diffusion type presents the shade of image as different spread halftones instead of dots to
compose a raster image.
The following diagram is an example of the raster effects when using the different diffusion types.
Floyd
TIP
There is no "correct" or "best" setting when using the Raster options. The most appropriate settings will
be based on a variety of factors: your design, the material you are engraving on, and the results you
wish to achieve, etc. Please take some time to experiment with the multitude of raster options to get the
one you feel is the best for your piece. This is where much of the fun in engraving is....experimentation!
5.2.3.7 X252RX & X380RX Print Driver >> Stamp Page
Producing stamps require different operational steps than your standard engraving or cutting
jobs. The Stamp page offers dynamic options allowing you to customize your stamp production
process.
NOTE
The Stamp page will only appear and be accessible when you have selected the Stamp Mode
from the Options Page.
TIP
Functions located on the other pages that are useful when making a stamp: Set Shoulder,
Pitch, Border, Invert, and Mirror.
Pitch (Stamp Page)
Your stamp will be a reversed image composed of engraved depressions and ridges. Think of
these ridges as the "contact sections" of the stamp. If the ridges of these contact sections are too
thin, they may break. The Pitch setting allows you to increase the width of the ridge base, hence
creating more stable "contact sections" and longer lasting stamp. The pitch value setting allows
you to adjust the base width of the ridge. Broad pitch gives the maximum amount of support for
each ridge. Experiment with different pitch value settings in order to produce the stamp that is
best suited for your application.
