Engraving Duo Plan

Working closely with Dayfold Print, we have been trying hard to achieve the best possible finish on their new Duo plan and Tri plan card stocks.

These A5 sample cards show the range off effects just by choice of colour.



Black on yellow




The process works great on block fills as well as text

The vibrancy of yellow is kept during the process



The yellow on black is one of the more attractive card stocks, and leant its self well to being laser engraved.

Each sample measures 200mm x 140mm and took little over 10 minuets to complete. Due to the engraving process, the complexity of the data shouldn't slow the process down. The finish required by Dayfold and the material properties meant that the laser had to run at less than optimum performance to vaperise the first layer of material. Power was at 100% speed running at a slower 50%.
