driver. If you fill an object with a color that is defined in the color maps, the speed and
power for that color will be used.
USING THE EPILOG LEGEND RUBBER STAMP PRINT DRIVER
The Epilog Legend requires a unique print driver for producing rubber stamps. The stamp driver is similar to
the standard driver and is included on the disk along with the standard driver that you received with your
engraver.
All of the unique stamp attributes are controlled from the stamp driver including shoulder
attributes, speed and power setting and more.
Processing rubber stamp files requires a computer that has adequate processing power and memory
capabilities. The faster your computer, and the more memory that you have reduces the amount of time that
your computer spends processing the stamp file. Individual stamps will be processed fairly quickly on almost
any computer, but if you are producing large numbers of stamps you will want to have at least a 500 MHz
computer with a minimum of 64 MB RAM.
LAYOUT FOR STAMPS
1)
Set up your artwork in Corel so that your computer image looks like the image that you want to stamp.
Areas to be stamped should be black, with the area to be removed white.
2)
If you want to have the laser cut the individual stamps out from the sheet, place a .001" outline with no
fill around each stamp. You can use rectangles, or you can use the pen tool to draw a tight outline that
follows the shape of the stamp.
3)
Draw your boundary. The boundary, or "Fence" is what the laser will use to determine the limits of the
background material to be engraved away. This is a rectangle with a .001" outline and no fill. Every part
of your design must be inside the fence for the engraving to work properly. The fence should be as small
as practical, as this will reduce wasted material and also reduce engraving time. Try and place your
stamps in such a way that they can be enclosed by the smallest fence. When engraving multiple stamps,
do not enclose individual stamp layouts with individual fences. One large fence must enclose all stamps.
*NOTE The fence must be at least .050 inch from the edge of any characters or images. Putting the
fence too close to the characters will result in an unsatisfactory stamp.
4)
Mirror your design in CorelDraw before printing
5)
Print your design to the Legend Stamp driver.
