Engraving is the most common technique of laser processing. To ensure high engraving quality, a remarkable color contrast must be presented after the material is engraved. To that end, materials are usually selected on the basis of achieving pleasing post-processing effects.
For example, a material in a darker color would be chosen if a light color will be shown on the material after the engraving process. Reversely, a light-colored material would be excellent to compensate for the dark-colored effect and fully exhibit the engraved details.
Engraving is not the only technique of producing a notable contrast; the use of other materials can also create a different look. The GCC LaserPro Application Lab of the month introduces a type of sticker specially designed for laser processing. A simple step of applying the sticker to the material to be engraved or cut will lead to a stunning result. By utilizing such a material, the tedious process of selecting materials and testing post-engraving color effects will no longer be necessary. All you need is matching the desired colors and an easy-on-the-eyes item will be created with simple laser cutting or engraving steps.
