INK JET PRINTING (INK JET)
Ink jet marking uses an Imaje printer to place an ink marking on the wire.
Fonts
The printer only uses one style of font. It is a Mono-spaced, block type font.
The font type Small, Medium, and Large print the characters readable when holding the wire horizontally.
The font Small- Chimney, Medium – Chimney, Large – Chimney print the characters readable when
holding the wire vertically.
The size is measured across the diameter of wire. Perpendicular to length along the wire.
The size can vary by the distance the face of the ink jet is from the wire. Normally we try to get this pretty
close but too close and it will be hard to change the wire guide. Too far and quality will suffer
Font height and width
Size in dots = H x L/+S
H = the number of dots printed perpendicular to the length of the wire
L = the number of dots printed parallel to the length of the wire for the character only.
+S = the number dots printed parallel to the length of the wire for the character plus the space
between the characters.
