Brooklyn Park, MN—Squid Ink Manufacturing, Inc., a leading manufacturer of superior quality inks and ink jet printing equipment, has introduced its new Squid CoPilot 256 inkjet printing system.
The CoPilot 256 from Squid Ink offers users an innovative option for printing high-resolution characters, barcodes, logos and more.
The CoPilot 256 inkjet printer is designed to print superior quality hi-resolution characters on either porous or non-porous surfaces.
With up to 2.8-inches of total print height and the ability to print on both sides of the substrate in a single pass, the CoPilot 256 is designed to work as an integral part of a user’s day-to-day packaging operation.
CoPilot 256’s 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen provides access to the system’s internal messages and print functions. Messages are created and edited on Squid Ink’s easy-to-use Orion PC Software and transferred via Ethernet or USB device.
For larger applications, a virtually unlimited number of CoPilot 256 printing systems can be connected via Ethernet and controlled through one central Orion print station.
The system is capable of running oil-based or solvent-based inks to print up to 2.8-inch (1.4-inch from a single head) of hi-resolution characters, razor-sharp text, scannable bar codes, and great looking logos at 185 dpi (dots per inch).
For non-porous applications, users have the option of using Squid Ink’s solvent-based inks for printing on a variety of products like coated cartons, plastics, glass, shrink wrap, metals and more. Squid Ink’s PZ-1000 ink for porous substrates offers low-maintenance performance, eliminating the need for auto-priming functions and offering better ink utilization than competitive systems.
The CoPilot 256 is designed to meet the harsh demands of a user’s application. The printer features a durable touchscreen, industrial strength print head construction, and print engines designed for industrial applications, not office applications.
Customers can be confident that CoPilot 256’s rugged design will withstand the most abusive industrial environments while providing superior quality print.
The CoPilot also features a large 500ml cartridge or bag ink system. The generous ink volume allows users to keep their line running, reducing downtime and maximizing ROI.
The CoPilot 256 is available now through Squid Ink’s worldwide network of authorized distributors. Sales inquiries should be directed to Joshua Nelson, Squid Ink Manufacturing, Inc., 7041 Boone Ave. N., Brooklyn Park, MN 55428 by telephone: 1-800-877-5658 or via e-mail at jnelson@squidink.com.
