Hi Guys!
Looking for some tips on stippling the background of a simply cut word. When I stipple before cutting, it makes for an extremely unpredictable surface to engrave on. Additionally, I cannot find a decent way of clearly marking out the letters, as the stipple really camouflages them. Therefore, I cut first, then stipple. Trouble is that it is extremely difficult not to slip into a letter every now and then. I admit I'm using only an optivisor at the moment, but I'm looking for a trick.
Also, what is the technical name for this type of engraving. Here's a pic of what I mean.
