Character/Message Sizes

To achieve different character or message sizes with REA JET printers, the print heads can be used numerous ways:

32-dot ink jet print on rubber
Font Selection

Messages can consist of text using different size fonts.  For example, the message above uses the 32 x 20 font and the 10 x 10 font.

Print Head Rotation

Print heads can be rotated to make character sizes smaller, as shown above.  This also places the dots closer together to form more solid characters.

Print Head Stacking
