Preparing for Imprinting
Preparing the Material
In order for a material to be used for imprinting with this machine, the material must meet all of the following
conditions. For details on these conditions, refer to the respective pages mentioned.
• Imprint surface hardness (P. 42)
• Thickness (Height) (P. 42)
• Size (P. 45)
• Shape (P. 46)
• Conditions for material when imprinting curved surfaces (when the imprint surface is curved) (P. 47)
Please note that these conditions are limited to use of this machine and the items included with it. Conditions
may vary if the optional kit is used.
Imprint Surface Hardness
Vickers hardness (HV) of 200 or less
Materials which may crack or split by imprinting (such as glass, stone, precious stones, china, and porcelain)
cannot be imprinted even if hardness is within the preceding range. Attempting to imprint such material may
damage the machine. For information on the hardness of the material surface, please contact the shop where
you bought the material or the manufacturer of the material.
Thickness (Height)
The imprintable thickness (height) varies depending on the combination of the base unit.
