Color laser marking is not a widespread technology, but rather interesting from a design point of view. It is suitable for creating patterns and inscriptions in different colors. The colors can be created using several methods, all that is needed is the right raw material and setting. During the laser treatment of certain metals (e.g. stainless steel), an oxide layer is formed, which results in different shades of color.
Colored marking offers many advantages, it is just as durable as simple marking, resistant to wear, chemicals and drastic changes in temperature. High-resolution, detailed markings can be easily created based on vector files, and a print image can almost be converted. The process is fast and fully automated, as with other laser technologies.
