In this paper we present a novel method to print paper and cardboard without ink. The method is based on the carbonization of paper by a combination of lasers working on different wavelengths. A prove of concept system is created based on combining existing commercial systems to demonstrate the viability of the method. The results show that no debris is generated and the quality of the mark is superior in terms of contrast and resolution with previously known methods.
