Should You Pre-Color Your Laser Materials? (Pros and Cons)

Should you precolor your laser materials before engraving? In this video, I break down the pros and cons of precoloring different materials before they go under the laser. We’ll talk about when precoloring can improve contrast and save time, and when it can actually cause more problems than it’s worth—like inconsistent burns, extra cleanup, etc. I’ll also share real-world tips based on laser type and material so you can decide if precoloring makes sense for your projects or if post-coloring is the better option. If you want cleaner engraves and fewer headaches, this one’s worth watching.
