Branding Iron Price List ARTWORK: We can work from clean, black and white art, a positive transparency, or a film negative. We can also do original art from a photograph or rough drawing at a cost of $40/hr. Avg. charge is $25-$45. Half-tones (shading) don't work for branding, although some shading can be done with dots or parallel lines. Keep lettering size above 3/32" in height, 1/8" high or larger if using serif style (Roman) lettering Outline lettering and other "fancy" styles may need to be larger. We recommend not using white images on a black background in most cases unless the white areas are large enough to stand out. You can send art by mail, email, or fax to us for approval. We will inform you if your art will work well as a brand and recommend changes if needed. We do not normally work from faxed art as it is rather poor quality. Jpeg and tiff images are fine for evaluation, but need to be at least 300 dots per inch if we are to use them to work from. We can work from .eps, .dxf, .cdr, .jpg, and .tif files, as well as from black and white art. If you send us black and white are we prefer it to be 200% of actual size. EQUIPMENT: We offer the most reliable, heavy-duty equipment available. Our heavy bronze dies are a minimum of 1/2" thick (most are much thicker), and are interchangeable. Our engraving is .100" minimum depth on standard sizes and and can be done deeper for extra charge. On some highly detailed logos we may use the EDM process and those images will only be .080" in depth. A heat control unit is recommended for all electric branders to insure good image reproduction and to prolong heater life. Drill press operated models are available for production branding. Listed below are our most popular sizes for custom electric and torch heated branders. Prices are listed for any signature, text or logo which will fit within the desired size. For Hobby Branders, see below. Additional charges for: heat control; drill press adapter; artwork; shipping.
