The full EUmark machine with a stencil printer on the same bench. Black oxide marking and deep etch, plus a 58 mm printer that produces clean text, part numbers and fine line artwork in minutes instead of days. All four electrolytes included, each with a safety data sheet. 110/220 V, ready for US, EU and UK.
EUmark Set 02 — etch marking kit with stencil printer
Here is the arithmetic that decides which kit a shop actually needs. The mark takes two to five seconds. If the stencil for it has to be ordered, the part waits days.
That is fine while you are marking one fixed logo forever. It stops being fine the first time a customer asks for their part number on the piece, or a job traveller calls for a date code, or you take on work for a second customer with a different drawing note. Set 02 puts stencil production on the same bench as the marking unit.
The full machine, not the compact one
Set 02 is built on the full marking unit, which runs both modes:
- Black oxide marking — shallow, high-contrast dark mark. What most identification work calls for.
- Deep etch, light marking — a recessed mark with real depth, for identification that has to survive further finishing, handling, media blasting or years of service wear.
Sets 05, 06 and 07 are built on the compact machine and produce black marking only. Set 06 is the closest comparison to this kit — same printer, lower price — and the difference is exactly that: no deep etch. If a drawing calls out etch depth, Set 06 will not satisfy it.
What the P58D printer is good at, and what it is not
The 58 mm printer produces excellent text, serial numbers, part numbers, date codes and fine line artwork. Thin strokes transfer cleanly, which makes it the right tool for the identification work most shops actually do, and for outline logos.
It is not the printer for machine-readable symbols. QR codes, barcodes, thick strokes and large solid black areas should be avoided at this width — they do not transfer reliably. If your marking has to carry a scannable code, SUPER SET 04 and Set 07 use the wider printers and the software built for it.
We would rather you knew that before ordering than after.
When printing your own stencils starts paying
A printed stencil is made in a couple of minutes and thrown away. A long-life photo stencil is ordered from us, takes days to arrive, and runs up to 5,000 marks. Neither one replaces the other, and most shops end up using both.
| Printed stencil | Long-life photo stencil | |
|---|---|---|
| Lead time | minutes, in house | ordered from us |
| Service life | short run | up to 5,000 marks |
| Right for | part numbers, date codes, job numbers, one-offs | a fixed logo or fixed identifier marked repeatedly |
| Cost per stencil | a few centimetres of tape | per-stencil price, spread over thousands of marks |
The moment your marking content stops being one fixed design, the printer is what keeps the process from becoming a scheduling problem.
Kit contents
- EUmark marking unit, 110 V / 220 V, with power and marking cables
- Stencil printer P58D, 58 mm print width
- Stencil design software, included with no license fee — optimized for text, numbers and fine line work
- 1 × stencil tape
- Hand stamp (marking head)
- Marking felt
- Electrolytes M21, M22, M23 and N11 Neutralyte
- Sample long-life stencil and sample printed stencil
Set 02 ships with one roll of stencil tape. Set 03 is the same system with six rolls and a second marking felt — a working stock rather than a starting sample, for a small difference in price. If you expect to print regularly, that is the better buy and we would rather tell you now.
What the process does to the part
| Property | Effect | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Heat input | none | No HAZ to disposition on heat-treated or age-hardened alloys |
| Recast layer | none | No micro-cracking initiation site on cyclically loaded parts |
| Residual stress | none added | Fatigue allowables unchanged |
| Material removal | ~0.001″ surface conversion | Safe on thin wall sections and finished dimensions |
| Burrs and raised edges | none | No deburr operation after marking |
| Hardness and temper | unchanged | Marking happens last, on the finished part |
| Corrosion resistance | preserved | Neutralize with N11, then passivate to your existing procedure |
The four fluids
Marking units are broadly similar across the industry. Electrolytes are not, and they are where the result actually comes from.
| Fluid | How it behaves | Reach for it when |
|---|---|---|
| M21 | Self-cleaning. Gets a high number of marks out of one wetting of the felt. | Running a batch. The operator is not stopping to re-wet or wash the felt between parts — which is where the real cycle time in manual marking gets lost. |
| M22 | Very dark mark, and the fluid used for deep etch. Requires the felt to be washed after use. | Maximum contrast, or a print calling for etch depth rather than surface contrast alone. |
| M23 | Non-corrosive, formulated for marking highly corrosion-sensitive materials. Wipe with a dry cloth after marking — that is the whole post-process. | Corrosion-critical hardware, or any part where a wet neutralizing step is impractical. |
| N11 Neutralyte | Protects the marked surface after etching. | Standard finishing step after M21 or M22. |
Read this before you order: the table is a recommendation, not a specification. Alloy, condition, finish and prior processing all change the outcome, so trial marking on your own material is a required step. Send a coupon and we will run the first trial for you.
Every fluid ships with a safety data sheet. Quality and EHS functions need those for incoming inspection, hazard communication and the audit file — in a regulated shop an undocumented consumable does not get approved for the floor, however well it performs. The fluids are formulated to the requirements applied in medical, aerospace and food-contact manufacturing. A 200 ml bottle delivers up to 20,000 marks.

Artwork that works
Thin lines, outlined text and open lettering reproduce best, whether printed or photo-etched. Thick strokes and large solid black areas should be avoided: the electrolyte does not pass evenly through them and the mark comes out patchy. Where a logo is heavy, an outlined version marks far better than a filled one. Strokes below about 0.008″ (0.2 mm) tend to close up.
For long-life photo stencils, send artwork as SVG, DXF, AI or EPS with the part finish, and we will tell you what will hold before you commit.
Questions we get
How is this different from Set 06, which is cheaper and has the same printer?
The machine. Set 06 is built on the compact unit and does black marking only. Set 02 does black marking and deep etch. If you will never need depth, Set 06 costs less. If you might, buying the compact machine first and the full machine later costs more than buying this one now.
Can I mark hardened and age-hardened parts?
Yes, and that is the main reason customers move to this process. There is no thermal or mechanical input, so hardness, temper, geometry and fatigue life are unaffected. Marking is performed on the finished, final-inspected part.
Can the printer produce a data matrix or QR code?
Not reliably at 58 mm. Codes need the wider printers in SUPER SET 04 or Set 07. The P58D is a text and fine-line printer, and it is very good at that.
Does marking affect corrosion resistance on stainless?
Not when the marked area is neutralized with N11 and passivated along with the rest of the part under your existing procedure. Confirm it once on a coupon during qualification and record the result.
Where does it ship from, and what will landed cost be?
Orders dispatch from Serbia and ship worldwide. Duties, tariffs and import handling vary by destination and change often. Tell us the delivery country before you order and we will provide the tariff classification, the shipping method and a landed cost estimate in writing.
Before you buy
Send the alloy, part geometry, mark content and annual volume, and we will confirm the right configuration — including telling you if a different set covers it better.
