Hi-definition characters are bolder, easier to read, and can be seen accurately from greater distances. In addition, users can select between water-based systems for printing on porous surfaces like corrugated cases, or solvent-based systems for printing on non-porous products like plastics, metals or more. No matter what product you need to print, Vector XII has the functionality to get the job done right. The Vector XII is designed for simple day-to-day operation. Vector XII’s state-of-the-art input device provides quick and easy message programming and retrieval for up to 128 messages. Resident software accessed from the hand-held input device walks users 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. Vector XII’s easy-to-use design and user-friendly software makes everyone involved a smooth operator.
