LARGE CHARACTER INK JET PRINTING SYSTEM
Reliable.Versatile.Affordable.
High Quality Print On Any Type Of Product Innovative Technology And Proven Reliability
Squid Ink ’ s SQ/2
ink jet printing system allows manufacturersto print high quality dot-matrix characters on a variety of
products at a cost-effective price. In fact, the SQ/2 offers the
lowest price per printed character in the industry today. Users
can choose between two models: a water-based system for
printing on porous surfaces like corrugated cartons, paper or
wood, or a solvent-based system for printing on non-porous
products like plastics, stretch wraps, metals, glass or more. Patented micro-channeling technology eliminates the need for a
costly array of fluid valves. Squid Ink uses its own proven
plunger technology and distributes
ink through a series of
channels, keeping production and maintenance costs to a
minimum, especially when compared to the costly valve
technology common in most
ink jet printers today.
No More Service Calls
The SQ/2 was engineered inside and out for industrial-strength
operation. Heavy-duty gauge coated steel cabinetry ensures
continuous operation in harsh, real world environments. If the
printer does fail, a fix can be completed in less than five
minutes. Quick and easy-to-install replacement printheads, PC
cards and air pump modules minimize downtime and eliminate
costly service calls. Best of all, the water-based SQ/2 utilizes
Squid Ink’s patented SQ-60™ no-clog
ink, allowing users to
leave the
ink in their printheads for an extended period of time
without flushing or cleaning, making it the most cost-effective,
low maintenance
ink jet printing system available today.
User Flexibility
SQ/2 users also have the option of choosing from several
printhead configurations. Three different print sizes are
available: 3/4 , 1/2 or 3/8 character height. All printheads arecapable of printing both a 7 x 5 and 5 x 5 character matrix,
offering print sizes ranging from 1/4 to 3/4 in height. Usersalso have the flexibility to run one or two printheads at any time.
All of these components are field-installable for future upgrade
to meet your application ’ s changing requirements.
User-Friendly System
The SQ/2 is designed for simple day to day operation. SQ/2 ’ sstate of the art input device provides quick and easy message
programming and retrieval for up to 64 messages. Resident
software in the input device walks the user through a series of
prompts to program and save each message for printing on-
demand. The system can also be programmed and maintained
with a PC through a standard RS-232 port.
