Perfect color match.
Fingerprint-proof face.
Reverse LaserMark® is the color-match workhorse: laser engrave the sheet from the back side, back-fill with any acrylic paint, and get an exact color under a clear, smooth, non-glare matte face that resists fingerprints. For signage and displays where the brand color has to be right and the face has to stay clean, this is the material.

Some smooth gold/silver foils are not recommended where UV stability is required — tell us if the piece lives in direct sun. Swatch images: Rowmark color chart.

Common Applications
Common Questions
How is this different from Reverse Light Blockers?
Reverse LaserMark has a clear face over a color layer — elegant and color-exact. Light Blockers add an opaque blocking layer for back-lit or bright environments where glow-through would wash out the fill. Tell us where the sign hangs and we'll pick the right one.
Can you match our exact brand color?
Yes. Because the engraving is back-filled with paint, we can match PMS colors or a physical sample — not just choose the closest stock color.
What's clear-on-clear for?
Backlit and edge-lit effects: engrave the back, fill or leave frosted, and light the piece. It reads as floating graphics in clear acrylic — strong for lobby signs and displays.
Does the face scratch or show fingerprints?
The matte face is non-glare and fingerprint-resistant, and since the graphic is on the back, surface wear doesn't touch the artwork.
Do you do the engraving and fill in-house?
Yes — reverse engraving, paint fill, cutting, and finishing all happen in our Sparks shop. One quote, one part, done.

Transcribed from Rowmark’s published material information sheet, linked below. Values are reproduced as printed. One note if you are checking our work: Rowmark print the deflection temperature with a Fahrenheit and Celsius pair that do not agree with each other across their line, so we publish the Fahrenheit figure exactly as each sheet states it rather than converting.
