The Squid Ink CoPilot printing system uses proven Xaar piezo technology to print up to .7” of hi-resolution characters, razor-sharp text, scannable bar codes, and great-looking logos at 185 dpi and a 4.3″ full-color touchscreen provide 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. Multiple CoPilot printing systems can be connected via Ethernet or wirelessly and controlled through one central Orion print station for larger applications.
