Make Your Mark with High-Resolution Laser Marker

Mcloone, the one-stop-identity-shop based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, now offers customers products etched by its new 3-Axis Laser Marker.

Laser marking is the newest technology of its kind for businesses that want to produce short-run projects - variable data, bar coding or serializing. Business cards or invitations with highly detailed artwork are also excellent opportunities to use laser marking.

Creating sharp images that are highly durable and meant to last, this process can be used on label stock, leather and wood as well as metal substrates, marble and glass.

"Instead of applying ink, this revolutionary laser equipment actually vaporizes and removes ink from the material surface," says Sharon Erler, Mcloone's director of business development. "In addition to laser marking, we can provide exceptional cutting capabilities for both light and heavy mil materials."

The benefits of this process are many for customers who cater to exclusive entertainment venues, professional sports parties and special events for high-ticket business sponsors. "Resolution quality of an image is so much better, especially when you're featuring highly detailed artwork, such as a photograph," says Sharon. "Another advantage is speed - up to 6,000 millimeters per second, which is a huge technological leap forward. The 3-Axis Laser Marker has a focusing mirror to etch the image much faster over a larger area versus traditional, smaller lasers."

If you'd like to learn how your business could use the precision of this new technology, just take a look at Mcloone's 2008 holiday card, shown here. This highly-detailed piece was produced using the new laser marker, and received rave reviews from Mcloone customers. Questions? Call Mcloone at 1-800-624-6641.
