5.2.3.7 S400 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.
Adjustment Bar/ Power Level (Stamp Page)
Another important aspect of creating a stamp is setting the slope level of the shoulder. The
shoulder is the section from the “contact section” of the stamp to its base. This function allows
you to adjust the slope for the shoulder sections of your stamp. By sliding the sliders or directly
input of power level, you will be able to change the slope of the shoulder.
NOTE
The visual representations of the Pitch and Shoulder Level in the S400 driver are an
exaggerated representation to allow for easy visual guidance and pr ecise input.
Remember we are working with distances less than 1 mm here.
