Complex structures of a substrate – such as on castings in the automotive sector – may complicate the readability of the applied codes due to shadows in varying lighting conditions and therefore poor contrasts.
An optimized black/white marking results in a much better readability. High contrast can be created by marking black codes in the metal and additionally whitening the peripheral areas as well as the in-between spaces.
