The Epilog system used for this project was a
45-watt Helix.

  • First, open the file sc_journal_front.cdr
  • The file is set up so the ends of some words actually go beyond the edge of the page, giving the journal a more playful appearance.
  • We recommend drawing a vector box around the text and running ONLY the vector job with the lid open to ensure the design ends up in your desired location.
  • On a 45-watt Helix, we used the following settings:
    RASTER SPEED: 90%
    RASTER POWER: 30%
  • Repeat the steps above for the back cover of the journal
