Litho with text

Post by kaartman »

I need to cut Litho with text, any suggestions on font types, color and shade to make readable, would 3d text be better, please direct me to previous posts if there is.
Regards

I suppose it depends on what you want the letter color to be i.e. black or illuminated :)
My experience characters need to be .5 inch or better for good results ... I used 30 degree v-bit
for the Harley clock ... The clock face was V-carved with flat bottom . The Harley sign would be what you would get making them 3d ... Hope this helps a little :)

you could also fill the letter with colored epoxy in is one others have used
