I'm just learning how to use the embossing tools and am having some issues. I'm trying to emboss fine lines/details and text. I'm using SCAL3, the embossing foam mat and the smallest tip with a variety of pressures/speed settings (some slow, some fast, etc). I'm using cardstock and painters tape to secure it down, but nothing is coming out crisp. I'd basically like to create a letterpress 'look' on the debossed side. 3 questions:
1) what settings/tips do you use for achieving crisp results in fine details/text?
2) Can fine details be achieved on thin text-weight paper (similar to copy paper)?
3) I'm importing my custom text designs into SCAL and it is cutting the inner and outer lines of each letter. How do you just cut along a single line of a letter?
(PS-I've read about creating folders, but am not sure what that is/entails).
Thanks in advance for helping this newbie!
