TYVOK P2 is a compact blue-laser galvo workflow, so the best starting point is not the fastest number on paper. For customer-facing gifts, cards, leather, and small wood pieces, finish quality matters more than pushing maximum speed.

P2 2W baseline
- Use 20-30 mm/s as the first test band for lightweight marking and beginner samples.
- Start with lower power on paper, card, and thin coated pieces because these materials can scorch quickly.
- Use the 2W path to learn focus, positioning, file preparation, and material note-taking before promising paid production.
P2 10W baseline
- Use 30-50 mm/s as the first test band for stronger compact engraving.
- For leather, wood gifts, slate, and anodized cards, adjust power before assuming more speed is the answer.
- For coated drinkware or coated metal surfaces, test the exact coating and color before listing a product.
When to choose P2 Ultra instead
- If the job is mainly metal marking, tool IDs, metal cards, stainless tags, or serial plates, compare P2 Ultra 20W 1064 nm rather than forcing standard P2 settings.
- P2 Ultra belongs in a faster metal-marking workflow and should be tested separately from P2 2W/10W blue-laser presets.
