Approve the source and result only after cleaned sample testing.<\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Is slate easier to laser mark than other stone?<\/summary><p>Slate can show useful surface change in some tests, but layering, cleavage, color and finish vary. Treat the exact slate as its own sample set rather than assuming a universal process window.<\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Which laser source should be tested first for stone?<\/summary><p>For many untreated natural stone and slate projects, CO2 is the practical first screening route. UV, fiber\/MOPA or another wavelength should be compared when the required feature, surface layer or sample response gives a specific reason to test it.<\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Does MOPA fiber automatically improve stone marking?<\/summary><p>No. MOPA expands pulse-control options but does not change the fundamental fiber wavelength. If the surface couples weakly at that wavelength, wider pulse control alone does not prove feasibility.<\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Why must the mark be cleaned before approval?<\/summary><p>Loose dust, soot and redeposited particles can create temporary contrast or hide edge damage. The cleaned and dried surface is a more reliable basis for acceptance.<\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>What should be sent for a stone sample test?<\/summary><p>Send representative pieces with the supplier designation, finish, added-layer information, dimensions, artwork, minimum feature, target appearance, cleaning limits and acceptance method.
