TSR Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi everyone, can anyone help us out with this. Silver tankard to be engraved with the same font as pictured. We are using IS200TX Gravograph with GravoStyle 7 discovery. None of the fonts match very well, we are willing to donate the cost of the job to the Mizen foundation. Any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web_Engraver Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 By the look of the letters 'F' & 'J' there are slight differences, hand engraving look like best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I would use eurostyle as a close match, hopefully you have this available in your software. If I need to engrave a font I don't have available, I create the job in picture editing software (I use Photoshop elements) and then import it as an image & engrave from there. Hope this helps.

hibsjo(SCO) Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 take picture scan it in to job draw round the letters and infill if its letters not used make it up then they will have to come back to you carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think you'll struggle to match that to be honest! Might be easier to just polish it all out and re-engrave in a font of your choice... Anything would be better than what's on there now - looks horrid IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSR Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Does anyone fancy having ago at this job, I can let the customer know your details just pm me. We haven't got the software to do this, will have to speak to Kevin for an upgrade. Thanks for all the suggestions guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 It looks like one of those things that's handed down through generations. I did one not so long back that was done in a script font. If it was hand engraved to start with you will have a job matching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenB Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Well, since you ask, I would almost certainly use Eurostyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
