| Make your mark with a Co2 laser on Alumamark. |
| Alumamark is a specially treated anodized aluminium sheet
that changes colour when contacted with the energy of a Co2 laser. Consistent,
one-step marking, without chemicals or fill. The Co2 laser creates the image within
the anodized layer, resulting in smooth-surface graphics with exceptional resolution. |
