Make a Mark That Lasts
Squid Ink’s UV LED curing technology features a low maintenance ink cured only by UV LED light. The ink won’t dry until it comes in contact with the UV light, meaning a lower maintenance solution than all other ink jet technologies. This instant LED curing ink leaves a permanent mark that is impervious to environmental factors such as sunlight, water, moisture, and temperature, making it ideal for food applications. Additionally, the CoPilot system utilizes easy-to-use software modified specifically for the baking industry for easy message programming and recall.
Out With the Old, In With the New
UV LED technology offers several advantages over existing TTO (thermal transfer overprint) systems currently used in bakery applications. Squid Ink’s CoPilot system does not require compressed air, making it an easy install anywhere in the plant. In addition, the CoPilot offers 20-25 times fewer ink/ribbon changes, and up to 5 times lower cost per print. Typical cost per print is 20 cents per 1,000 clips. Add in a longer printhead life span and no work stoppages for ribbon breaks, and users will enjoy increased savings on their initial and ongoing operating costs.
Designed for Durability
Squid Ink’s CoPilot UV LED Curing System is designed to meet the demands of your application. You can be confident that the CoPilot’s rugged design will withstand your baking environment while providing superior quality print and UV curing. For ease of integration, the CoPilot mounts directly to the CloseIt® by Bedford and requires no need for preheating or compressed air. For quick start-ups, CoPilot’s fast response functionality means that the system can be powered on and ready to go at an instant, eliminating downtime and increasing your ROI.
