E-ENGRAVE S-SUBLIMATE L-LASER O-OUTDOOR U-UV PRINT
BRIGHT-COATED ALUMINUM
Bright (mirror) finishes are created by coating polished aluminum with a transparent lacquer, allowing the reflective quality of the
metal to shine through. A clear lacquer is used to create bright silver, while tinted (or colored) lacquer is used to create gold. The
transparent lacquer used on our bright aluminum is sublimatable and can also be laser engraved, creating a bright silver mark.
Recommended laser settings: Speed ~ 100
Power ~ 60 (35 watt laser)
Recommended sublimation settings: Temperature ~ 380° F
Time ~ 35 seconds
Medium pressure

SATIN-COATED ALUMINUM
Satin (brushed) finishes are created by coating satin aluminum with a transparent lacquer, allowing the metal’s texture to
show through. A clear lacquer is used to create satin silver, while tinted (or colored) lacquers are used to create gold and
other colors. The transparent lacquer used on our satin aluminum is sublimatable and can also be laser-engraved, creating
a satin silver mark.

OPAQUE-COATED ALUMINUM
Opaque finishes are created by applying a solid-colored paint to the metal’s surface. In most cases, the paint is applied to a
raw aluminum surface. Since there is not a lacquer coating on the painted surface, the opaque finishes will not accept sublimation.
Opaque aluminum finishes can be laser engraved, but the material will yield a raw, whitish gray mark, not the bright
silver finish available on our other laserable aluminum products.
