Partial cut mode: bridge mode

Gravostyle™’s partial cut mode, or bridge mode, offers significant advantages in stamp production by allowing for the entire sheet of rubber to be removed after cutting.
This method eliminates the need to extract each stamp individually, thereby reducing manual handling and cleanup time.

The bridge mode maintains the integrity of the material sheet, facilitating a more efficient post-production process.

By removing the entire sheet at once, users can quickly clean the stamps in bulk, improving overall productivity.

This feature is especially beneficial for high-volume production of stamps engraving, where time-saving and efficiency are crucial.

Equipment for stamp engraving

Laser lens & nozzle

For high precision in engraving rubber stamps, use a 1.5'' lens, which allows for detailed and accurate cuts. For standard engraving tasks, a 2.0'' lens is preferred, providing a balance between precision and speed

Additionally, using air-assisted nozzles helps protect the lens from debris and dust, ensuring consistent cut quality and prolonging the lens's lifespan. Proper lens selection and maintenance are crucial for achieving high-quality engravings and optimal performance of your laser engraving machine.

Fume's extractors

Engraving rubber stamps generates significant amounts of smoke and dust, making high-volume fume extractors essential. Models like the LE140HP and LNI for the LS900, or the mobile ES30/50 extractors, are ideal for this purpose. 

Using a pre-separator helps collect large rubber particles, making cleanup easier and maintaining extractor efficiency. Additionally, the charcoal filter effectively removes odors, ensuring a cleaner and more pleasant working environment.

Implementing the correct extraction system is critical for maintaining safety and efficiency during the entire stamps engraving process.

Proper extraction systems are crucial for maintaining air quality and ensuring the safety and efficiency of the engraving process.

FAQ: the 4 questions most frequently asked of our experts

🔽What types of materials are used for creating engraved ink stamps?

The primary material used for creating ink stamps is rubber, specifically laserable rubber (Rubbalase™). It is chosen for its elasticity, which works well with the viscosity and surface tension of the ink, ensuring good retention and clean transfer.

🔽What is the best engraving machine for ink stamps?

Laser tables (such as the LS100) are the best rubber stamp-making machines. They combine engraving and cutting capabilities in one compact unit.

Stamp making requires significant depth (around 1 to 1.5 mm - 0.04'' to 0.06''), and the LS100 laser table provides the precision required to engrave the rubber efficiently.

🔽How durable are laser-engraved stamps?

A laser-engraved stamp is very resistant and can last for several years. To prolong its lifespan, regular use and cleaning are recommended. Using the stamp regularly helps prevent the ink in the pad from becoming too dry or acidic, which can cause the rubber to harden or crack over time. Proper cleaning ensures the quality and longevity of the stamps’ impression.

🔽What is the ideal depth for a stamp engraving?

The ideal depth for stamps engraving ranges between 1 and 1.5 mm (0.04'' and 0.06''), but this depends on the size of the stamp and the height of the letters being engraved.

Sufficient depth prevents the ink from pooling or smearing outside the lines of the letters. Gravotech recommends using specialized rubber (like 2.5 mm / 0.10'' Rubbalase™) and ensuring a “cone” or shoulder is left on the edges of the engraved letters for a clean impression.
