titleMat Design Definition

Mat Designs are complete mat designs containing openings and can contain decorative or thematic elements to be cut/applied on the CMC created in Designer and Visualization.

Info

  • Even with all the decorative elements of the individual fonts, captions can easily be Deboss/Penned smaller than they can be cut, but there may be a few spacing problems that require attention.

LetterMat Review

Info

  • Select the LetterMat caption in the design. Click the Properties tab at the top. Here are a few reminders of some important fields down the left side of the screen.

Info

The Caption

  • Type the caption into the Text field.

  • Select the font by clicking the drop-down arrow at the right of the Font Name field then select the font from the list that appears.

Info

Size

  • Enter the letter’s size in the Height field.

  • Several items in the Parameters section below are important to understand.

  • Look at the Minimum Height

  • This field displays the minimum recommended height for the font.

  • The machine will form the strokes of smaller debossed and pen letters easily, but keep in mind that the details of smaller letters may be blurred because of the width of the chosen tool.

  • This will impact readability.

  • Remember that the Minimum Height value does not change if the font is set to draw with the pen - though the caption can be smaller with the pen than if it is debossed.

  • Check the Keep Aspect Ratio button.

  • This locks the letters’ original proportions. While letters look best at their original proportions, it is a viable option with debossed and pen captions to uncheck Keep Aspect Ratio to condense or expand the caption.

    • Kerning is the size of the spaces between the letters.

    • Tracking is the size of the spaces between the words.

  • These two settings will be the key to refining every caption.

Info

Changing the Cartridge

  • The button at the bottom that currently reads Deboss is the cartridge selection button. Click it to select the Pen, for example. Below, the Type field offers the choices for each cartridge.

  • For example, when Deboss is selected above, click the Type field to pick the Wide, Medium, or Thin debossing cartridge.
