I've been fighting a battle (and losing) this last week. We've been rotary engraving things for several customers for years. Typical setup for the job is a .500" tall letter, and use a .015" or .020" cutter.
Now the laser is here and I can easily get the font height, but the issue I'm having is the fonts are thicker than .015". Almost double in most cases. When put next to the previous work we've done, it's obvious (which is a bad thing for this situation).
I've searched for thin looking fonts, but when I find things that are super thin, they are usually an odd font.
Something simple, like Arial is the style, but it's too thick of a font.
Anyone have any advice on how to make the fonts "skinny" so I can have them match up with the existing rotary engraved work that was cut with a single swipe of the .015" or .020" cutter?
