Unattractive Imprint Result

Choose the composition of the loaded material.

Even if the composition of the material is the same, the hardness of the imprinting surface may vary greatly depending on the casting method, the composition of impurities, the presence of plating, and so on. In such cases, perform fine adjustment of the striking force to match the material.

If the image is not imprinted clearly, adjust the brightness of the image. Perform imprinting while changing the value of Gamma or Brightness in the Preview window a little at a time to increase the brightness. At this time, leave the material loaded and perform overstriking at the same location. Continue changing settings and performing imprinting until you obtain the darkness you want.

When grayscale tones are indistinct, go to the Image Correction tab in METAZA Driver and use Details to adjust the force of striking. Perform imprinting while leaving the value for Impact-MAX unchanged and increasing the value for Impact-MIN a little at a time. At this time, leave the material loaded and perform overstriking at the same location. Continue changing the settings in the METAZA Driver setting window and performing imprinting until you obtain the darkness you want.

The various setting values determined with overstriking are effective only when performing overstriking under identical conditions. The same results are not necessarily obtained when imprinting is performed with a new piece of material with only the conditions made the same, without performing overstriking.

Attractive imprinting may be impossible if the marking pin becomes worn. Check the state of the marking pin. If the marking pin becomes worn, replace the head with a new one.
