Valiani MatStylus Fonts
A number of Valiani users have recently noticed an increase in customer requests for wash lines and the inclusion of logos, signatures and the like to decorate mounts.
This has resulted in some overall discussion lately on the quality of mount decoration in the form of line draw and text provided by the Valiani MatStylus Deluxe.
In some quarters one is informed that a separate printer is a better option as they are more accurate and the operator has more control over the layout. However, those Valiani users of the Matstylus Deluxe find that it is highly accurate, versatile and provides for an excellent consistency of line in differing thickness thereby giving that added value both to the framer and customer. Plus of course it is not as expensive as a printer that will take Mountboard and probably sit there idle for a long period of time.
The following image gives an example of a number of Fonts printed directly onto mountboard with the Valiani MatStylus Deluxe Pen Head.
The Fonts are printed at 12mm high using a 0.5mm ZIG Millennium Pen.
Some of the examples are Valiani Single Line Fonts (SLFs). The rest are the standard Fonts that you would find in your Windows/Fonts Folder and reworked through Corel DRAW©.

It depends on what Version software you have.
Normally ToolBox> Fonts>
If you have them you should see something like:
SL_Eng_Vandline
SL_Eng_ParkAveLine
PM me with your serial number please and we can sort some Fonts out for you, if they are not there.
