手动轧机没有压力读数,压深全凭手感。自制标定件:用 3 mm 铅板做"试压片"——铅比铜软得多(布氏硬度约 4 对 35),先空轧出基准辊距,再以 0.1 mm 递减试压铅片,游标卡尺测厚,建立"辊距-压深"对照表贴在轧机立柱上。压印植物纹理取母本纹理高度的 60–70%,超过 80% 鲜叶即碎裂粘辊;每换一种材料先压一片铅复核,辊轴磨损造成的压深漂移可立刻发现。此法让批量压印的深度一致控制在 ±0.05 mm 内。

Manual mills have no load readout, so imprint depth is guesswork. Make a calibration set from 3 mm lead proof pieces—lead (about 4 HB) is far softer than copper (about 35 HB): establish a base gap, roll leads at 0.1 mm decrements, measure with calipers, and post a gap-versus-depth chart on the mill frame. Take plant imprints to 60–70% of texture height; beyond 80% fresh leaves shatter and stick. Roll one lead proof before each new material and roll-wear drift shows at once, holding batch depth within ±0.05 mm.
