ENGRAVING STYLES
Laser Engraving
Engraved using a laser (available only on metal surfaces). The engraving that you see is actually the result of the laser chemically reacting with the metal surface of the pen. It is smooth to the touch and looks very subtle. It usually is a tone-on-tone color ranging from a luminescent champagne to a grey color.
Deep Cut Engraving with Color Fill
Engraved with a deep cutting machine, it can be done without color or hand painted with an enamel color fill of your choice. Names and dates really pop with this method & you can feel the ridges of the engraving when you run your finger over it. Usually, the color fill color is chosen to match the appointments/details of the pen. Ex. If the pen is black with a gold clip, tip, top and gold center band, then the engraving looks best with a gold color fill to match.
Drag Engraving
Done using a diamond-tip engraving machine. You can engrave up to 28 characters with this method. This type of engraving is for use on metals such as brass, pewter, silver and gold. It removes the top layer to expose the bare metal underneath and is very subtle, but unlike the smooth feel of laser engraving, the tip of the engraving machine cuts deep lines into the pen metal that can be felt.
ENGRAVING FONTS
Block Font
This particular font is very common and works well as a “go to” font if you aren’t sure which one to pick. Block font is very similar to an Arial or Calibri style font. It looks nice in upper and lower case, or ALL CAPS is also very popular.
Script Font
Script font is very stylized. The Script font that Cross uses resembles cursive handwriting; it is a bit more on the feminine side but could be used for men or women. This particular Script font is best in upper and lower case – we DO NOT recommend all caps.
Times Regular Font
This font is what you generally see in newspapers and books. It is a semi-detailed font with small feet and hooks on the appropriate letters. Times Regular font is a nice middle ground between the plain Block font, and the detailed Script font.
