Stamps

Could anyone tell me how to engrave a wooden stamp, I can't fathom out how to engrave the background instead of the letters so the letters are raised, it's probably really easy when you know how lol Thanks in advance! Chris

make sure it's all one colour ie square black and letters black

Hi Tom won't that engrave everything? or am I being dumb lol

[Tom]

When you use one colour say black and you have three squares inside each other it will engrave miss engrave /on off on

[Tom]

not the best explanation but it's the best i can do on a Saturday night

If you are using a raster image make it a negative and then flip it horizontally and set to engrave.

If you are using vector as Tom says the outer line turns on engrave next line in turns off etc...

So a box with writing inside created in Lasercut would engrave background leaving text raised. A box with a few mm and then another box would create an engraved boarder and then the text engraved.

Doing a happy dance, just after you posted the first answer Tom, when I didn't know how it would work, I just tried it anyway and it worked a treat, thank you!
