![]() ![]() If you are getting calls for jobs that are too big for your current laser(s), or if you want to tackle markets for larger work, you should consider upgrading. There are several criteria that can help us determine when to jump up to one of these bigger lasers. Large-format lasers allow engraving and cutting large items like signage. ![]() In my mind, however, somewhere in between is the dividing line. Nowadays, a 12" x 24" laser is definitely small-format and a Kern 80" x 120" is definitely a large-format laser. Is it one of the new Epilog Laser Fusion Pro models with a 36" x 48" bed or does a large-format laser have to be one that is too big to fit in a cabinet like Kern Laser Systems’ 80" x 120" open bed laser? Although there isn’t necessarily a hard and fast designation, as a general guideline many in the industry consider anything with one dimension of 48" to be large format. Granted, many of us in the Recognition & Personalization Industry are adequately served with a 12" x 24" or 18" x 30" laser and although we might drool over a bigger laser, there might not be enough justification to buy one, but when does that change? At what point could we actually benefit, money-wise, by investing in a larger and more powerful “large-format” laser? The first question is, “What do we consider to be a large-format laser?” Laser engraving equipment comes in all sizes and all price ranges so when is it time to consider a bigger laser and what should you know about going big before you whip out your checkbook? ![]()
