High-detail color Laser engraving on stainless steel sheet, created with ImagR Vectorize and Lightburn.
The result shows a wide range of colors achieved purely through laser oxide layer formation - no paint, no coating, no post-processing.

Included is my personal Lightburn Color Chart file (.lbrn2) so you can reproduce the exact same color palette with your own fiber laser. The chart maps out speed, power, and frequency settings for each color tone on stainless steel.
