Side-by-Side Comparison of Laser Bond 100 and Cermark
Please note that it is not always a good practice to use more than one marking material as the settings can vary for each which can cause laser settings confusion. If you switch materials frequently and have shorter runs we would recommend you stick with the one product that works best for your needs. If you are doing larger project runs on a single material type you could find advantages in switching between materials for different results.
Laser Bond 100 – Pros & Cons
✅ Pros:
Lower Cost: Generally 25–30% less expensive than Cermark.
Fast Drying: Saves time, especially for high-volume production.
