The Nd: YAG Laser
Nd: YAG is an acronym for Neodymium: Yttrium/ Aluminium/Garnet — the solid-state laser. This exciting technology has a truly positive influence within certain parameters and applications.

The YAG laser was originally used to compete with the speed of the constant-wave CO₂ laser and its optical subsystem. Because constant-wave technology uses a constant, segmented, high-wattage beam, it remains very stable and predictable during the entire engraving process, thus providing excellent repeatability and predictability, both across the face and roll to roll. Furthermore, the bowl-shaped cells of CO₂ engravings, when engraved correctly, release ink very well, allowing easier cleaning.
