A universal or all-purpose laser marking composition for forming satisfactorily dark laser marks on a wide variety of substrates is provided. The marking composition comprises an enhancer of nitrides, carbides, silicides, and combinations thereof. The enhancer may be selected one or more of ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, FeSiwhere X can range from about 0.005 to 0.995, FeSi, MgFeSi, SiC, CaSi, (Co)Mo, MoSi, TiSi, ZrSi, WSi, MnSi, YSi, CuSi, NiSi, FeC, FeCand FeC, MoC, MoC, MoC, YC, WC, AlC, MgC, MgC, CaC, LaC, TaC, FeN, FeN, FeN, FeN, FeN, MoN, MoN, WN, WN, WN, and combinations thereof and combinations thereof. Upon disposing the marking composition on a substrate and exposing the marking composition to laser radiation, the marking composition absorbs the laser radiation, increases in temperature, chemically bonds with the substrate, and when formed on each of a metal, glass, ceramic, stone, and plastic substrates, the mark has a negative ΔL dark contrast value of at least −1 compared to a mark formed by the marking composition without the enhancer. 1. A marking composition for forming marks or indicia on a substrate upon laser irradiation , the marking composition comprising an enhancer selected from the group consisting of nitrides , carbides , silicides , and combinations thereof , upon disposing the marking composition on a substrate and exposing the marking composition to laser radiation, the marking composition absorbs the laser radiation, increases in temperature, chemically bonds with the substrate, and forms a fused mark on the substrate having a luminance, color value, or degrees of opacity that provides visual contrast with the substrate, and', 'when formed on each of a metal, glass, ceramic, stone, and plastic substrates, the mark has a negative ΔL dark contrast value of at least −1 compared to a mark formed by the marking composition without the enhancer., 'wherein2. The marking composition according to claim 1 , wherein the enhancer is selected from the ...
