Small character

In product marking small character means by definition small signs/symbols or graphics up to a certain font height. This description is mostly used in combination with marking instruments for example at small character inkjet printers.

These marking instruments are Continuous inkjet printers, which print signs/symbols and graphics with font heights from 0.8 up to 16 mm.
Especially on small products with less space for the product marking, for example best-before-date, Lot number or a barcode, small character inkjet printers are used. Small character ink jet coders generally print information that can be as little as a single line and as many as 5 lines.
