IV12-Dot Integrated Valve Print Head

The IV12-Dot print head has been re-engineered to have a smaller dot size with closer spacing between dots. The resulting print is crisp and highly legible with reduced ink consumption. With smaller print capabilities, the IV12-Dot becomes a utility player that can perform primary product coding as well as case coding. The printer features a 1/2" print height and with a 5 dot font that can print characters 3/16” tall in two lines of stacked print. Ink supply is available in 13 oz. pressurized cans or with bulk containers. The IV12-Dot print head can use any of the existing IV inks and enjoys the same operating characteristics that the rest of the Integrated Valve family of print heads has to offer.
