CoPilot 382

The CoPilot 382 Hi-Resolution Printing System
Squid Ink’s CoPilot 382 printing system is designed to print superior quality hi-resolution characters of either porous or non-porous surfaces. With up to 2.1" of print height per printhead and the ability to run up to 2 printheads from one controller, the CoPilot 382 offers a versatile, yet cost effective solution for your coding and marking applications.

Application Versatility
The system is capable of running oil-based or solvent-based inks to print up to 4.2" (2.1" from a single head) of hi-resolution characters, razor-sharp text, scannable bar codes, and great looking logos at 185 dpi. 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, stretch 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.
