A new printing system designed to print superior-quality, 360 dpi-resolution characters on porous surfaces, the CoPilot Max made its debut at the Squid Ink booth at PACK EXPO Las Vegas. The printer features up to 2.8 in. of print height per printhead and the ability to run up to two print heads from one controller.

The CoPilot Max uses Squid Ink’s active ink system, which allows users to raise, lower, tilt, or rotate the print head without making height adjustments to the ink supply. The system prints hi-resolution characters, “razor-sharp” text, scannable barcodes, and logos at 360-dpi, which Squid Ink said is nearly twice the resolution of competitive printers in its class. Added the company, “Squid Ink’s proven library of inks for porous substrates offers ultra-low maintenance performance, eliminating the need for auto-priming functions and offering better ink utilization than competitive systems.”
