    Dark lines amongst light ones

    i'm no help here. if the piece was the size of a dinner plate, i might fuss over it. given the actual size, i'd not worry about it. is there a possibility that the alloy is not totally homogenous ? if so, that could be yer problem.

    Critique Request Classic Border Practice

    really very simple. practice till you can't do it anymore. repeat until you're happy. btw, engravers, like most other creative people, are seldom happy with their creations.it's like a professional disease.

    Need help

    when you think you've chosen a model of printer, take your design to the store. they will likely sacrifice a bit of time and a microdrop of ink to clinch a sale

    Help, please: Is this hand engraved?

    even the zero has irregularities that say it was done by hand. a better , glare free closeup might reveal what kind of cutter/graver was used here.

    Original Art all the time or transfers sometimes too?
