Nuttish Report post Posted June 16, 2015 I believe this is the section in which people have been asking questions about various ways to make their branding marks so I'm putting this here. I'm sending out an order for a plate of magnesium dies next week. I will have dies made for the first several people to contact me privately and send me their art. Preference to people who have been asking questions. I only ask that you post a picture of your mark once you get your die back because it will be helpful to people to see what's possible for little $$. I will only charge cost plus priority ($5.05) to get you your die. Cost per die will depend on size (I pay by the area of the plate, not number of dies or cuts) and likely be less than $15. Magnesium dies are suitable for hot and cold stamping many hundreds of impressions or more. They're not suitable for whacking like some of the Delrin marks people are offering, but the impressions are much higher quality and easier to get perfectly replicable results. Art: Files should be in Illustrator (up to CC is fine), .eps, or .svg with all text objects expanded to vector lines and no embedded images. I'm not doing your electronic prepress for you. If you only have a .jpg or .png, I will spend a few minutes converting it to vector lines, but it must be large, high quality, and you must tell me the finished size of the die you want.
