SquidInk CoPilot Max
The CoPilot Max Hi-Resolution Printing System
Squid Ink’s CoPilot® Max printing system is designed to print superior quality hi-resolution characters on porous surfaces. With up to 2.8” of print height per printhead and the ability to run up to 2 printheads from one controller, the CoPilot Max offers a versatile, yet cost effective solution for your coding and marking applications.
Make Your Mark
