The most delicate material you will probably ever attempt to apply a laser to is paper. Surprisingly, even though paper is extremely thin and is very flammable, it works remarkably well with a laser cutter, with the right settings. The best thing about paper is that it is readily available, inexpensive and comes in different colors, smoothness and thickness.
