SECTION 14: MATERIAL ENGRAVING TECHNIQUES
Sending a Stamp File to the Laser
With Stamp mode selected,
you can change the
shoulder and widening
settings (explained below).
The mirror function mirrors everything
except the lines to be cut. Only use if not
cutting out the stamps with the laser. Mirror
your artwork when setting up your file.
Once you have successfully setup your stamp artwork, you are ready to print your design. In the Laser Dashboard go to
the Advanced tab.
If the Stamp Mode is not able to be selected, check on the General Tab that the Job Type selected is either Raster
or Combined mode.
Shoulder Settings
The Shoulder setting in the Dashboard adjusts the angle of the shoulders of your characters. A higher shoulder number
provides a wider angle and more support for the characters. The following drawing shows a side view of a character with
the shoulders set to 6, 25 and 50. Many users feel the default setting of 25 is ideal.
Widening Settings
The Widening setting in the Dashboard adjusts the width of the character at its top. A higher Widening number provides a
bolder character. The following drawing shows a side view of the difference in characters when their widening set to 1 or
6. (Note that the Shoulder doesn't change). Many users feel the default setting of 1 is ideal.
Select Stamp as your
Raster Type.
Check the Fence box if using the Fence Method.
