Short answer: Use this TYVOK P2 5W page as a starter settings record. Run a material test grid on the exact blank, then save speed, power, passes, focus, cleanup, and supplier details before customer work.
TYVOK P2 5W starter settings table
| Material | Starter speed | Power | Passes | Test note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coated paper card | 20-40 mm/s | Low | 1 | Start light so the coating does not overburn. |
| Black coated card | 20-35 mm/s | Low to medium | 1 | Check contrast after wiping dust. |
| Gift insert card | 25-45 mm/s | Low | 1 | Keep the card flat and test one corner first. |
How to turn the setting into a repeatable product
Confirm the software unit first, then keep one saved record per material. A reliable TYVOK workflow should include the material source, machine power, test photo, cleanup step, and final customer-ready inspection.
When to compare another TYVOK machine
If the project changes material family, work area, or production volume, compare the TYVOK settings chart and buying guide instead of forcing one preset across P2, P2 Ultra, X1S, X1S Pro, and K1 Pro.
