Members Anubis78 Posted June 27, 2017 Members Report Posted June 27, 2017 Hi all! Any suggestions on where to find a custom embossing stamp for larger items? I've seen smaller stamps for something like a makers mark, but I'm looking for stamps that could be as large as 12" x 5" that has a custom shape. I would like to potentially place this in a hydraulic press to stamp/emboss a mass produced item. Quote
Members Studio-N Posted June 27, 2017 Members Report Posted June 27, 2017 besides myself, most stamp makers can do a larger stamp. we just generally get asked to only do a small one. The largest I've done is 10x12 but I can do up to a 1 foot by 2 foot on the laser and up to 50" on the CNC. what can be done will obviously depend on the design. Quote
Members Anubis78 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Members Report Posted June 28, 2017 Studio-N, Is there a specific format of the design that you would need (PDF, jpeg,etc)? Quote
Members Studio-N Posted June 29, 2017 Members Report Posted June 29, 2017 most formats will work. I personally use corel draw which can import bitmaps, pdf, eps, vectors from other programs. I would suggest that if it is anything other than a bitmap - make sure to convert any text to curves. Otherwise if the exact same font isn't on the host computer, a substitution automatically occurs. cheers! Quote
