Just saw this email this morning about the new ULS Hybrid laser which "combines multiple laser beams with various wavelengths into a single coaxial laser beam". I read the whitepaper -

and while the unique technology looks very intriguing, I think it will take some time to realize what new things are possible with it outside just the few that are mentioned. While I think it would be cool to have one to experiment with, I have the feeling it's not going to be cheap, looks like they are also making it the flagship for "newer-faster-better" hardware as well with new servo motors and drive systems. The other cool feature I would like to see is the new control panel software that will essentially work as a stand alone software that you can use to import .pdf and .dxf files directly to the print driver and be able to manipulate and output, no 3rd party software (Corel Draw etc.) needed! But again it's a cool concept but may not be truly practical for most people, i.e. as a sign shop we still need to have Corel to be able to convert customers non standard files, (think, my niece is taking photoshop in high school, she can make the files for me!)
Some innovative ideas but not sure they have an appeal to a broad market.

Also, can one of you engineers explain what the difference is in the 9.3 vs. 10.6 co2 wavelengths as far as what the 9.3 is used for, what is the practical difference the end user?
