Paper cards

Q: Is laser cutting paper gift cards possible without burning them?

Yes, paper is vaporized during laser cutting and exits at high speed in a visible, gaseous form of smoke. The smoke transports the heat away from the paper, resulting in low thermal stress on the material. With optimal parameters, air assist and table suction, the material is processed smoke-free, without burnt edges, even with the finest contours.

Q: Does laser engraving on paper always come out dark?

The engraving result depends on different factors. Both dark and light laser engraving are possible, even with dyed-through paper types. For example, a color change from dark to white can be achieved with a very low power output. A dark, haptic engraving is achieved with a higher power output. With paper types that have two or more layers, the cover layer is removed so that the second color becomes visible.

"The Speedy is a great addition to my creative workflow. The paper I use is so fine, it's hard to imagine that you can take a layer off it without it falling apart. It just goes to show that laser machines can create exceptionally fine detail."
