The CoPilot Flex Hi-Resolution Printing System
The CoPilot® Flex is designed to print superior quality hi-resolution characters, razor-sharp text, real-time information, scannable bar codes, and great looking logos on pulp, foam, or PET egg cartons. With up to .7” of print height and the ability to print multiple lines of information in a single pass, the CoPilot Flex is designed to streamline your printing process.

Minimal Footprint, Maximum Results
CoPilot Flex is engineered for simple integration on your existing egg packing line or wherever space constraints are an issue. The system’s unique and compact design allows for narrow mounting in nearly every zone of your egg packing process, eliminating the need for after-market engineering or time-consuming modifications to your existing conveyor. CoPilot Flex’s small printhead adjusts to match the slope of the carton to ensure a quality hi-resolution print. The system is capable of inverting your printed message, if needed, meaning you can print your cartons in the open or closed carton zone. At print speeds of up to 135 ft/minute, the CoPilot Flex is sure to keep your production moving.

Keep Your Production Running
CoPilot Flex’s 200ml ink cartridge contains nearly 5 times the amount of ink compared to many competitor’s cartridges. The increased ink volume and convenient cartridge design result in less frequent changeover and reduced production downtime. Even better, Squid Ink’s SI-PZ4200 solvent-based ink jet ink has been designed and tested for excellent adhesion properties on pulp, foam, and clear PET egg cartons while providing dark print that is easy to read.

CoPilot Flex’s compact printhead is designed to match the slope of the egg carton, resulting in highquality print.
The unique design of the CoPilot Flex allows for parallel conveyor mounting to maximize available aisle space.
200ml ink cartridges offer simple and clean ink changes.
