Our COLORboard Expressions feature full color prints with a durable, UV cured, clear varnish on top for lasting protection. This process creates that finished look without all the work! COLORboards can be used as the base for your project or can easily be incorporated as part of a larger project. COLORboards will take your creations to the next level!
Size: 12x19*
Core: Select from a variety of cores such as MDF*, acrylic, faux leather and more!
Sided: Select from a single or double-sided print. For single-sided prints, other than clear, the back will be solid white or left natural. Clear Acrylic prints will appear as shown here. The all clear acrylic options are available in single-sided only.
Masking: Our COLORboard Expressions do not come with masking. If charring on the top surface does occur, quickly wipe it off with a magic eraser of white vinegar. We have found the magic eraser to work extremely well. Flashback on the underside of the board can cause more charring to the bottom pattern, so masking may be beneficial there or raising it off the bed of the laser if double sided.

*Glowforge Aura & MDF: Glowforge does not recommend cutting MDF on the Aura. Our supposition, and many others, is that this is due to the filter, not that a diode laser can not cut MDF. MDF creates more dust which the Aura filter has difficulty clearing the and will clog the filter faster. If you have the Aura vented to the outside, especially with an additional in-line fan, then the dust can be cleared well.
