10.3 Font and character size.
The font selection is described in Subchapter 9.1. Generally, larger characters provide
better legibility especially for the wire insulations that produce a poor contrast under UV Laser
exposure. Printing along the wire (vertical font) allows bigger character sizes comparing to the
regular marks across the wire. Arial-Vertical-N font is specifically designed for marking on the
small diameter wires (Fig.10.3)
.

using vertical and horizontal fonts.
Line spacing controls the distance between the vertical printing lines filling the contour of a
character (Fig.10.4C&D). Similar to the marking speed described above the optimum spacing
should place the lines as close to each other as possible without overlapping. Fig.10.4A shows
the marking using the contour only. While this is the most economical and the fastest print
setting, it may not be enough to provide a legible marking. The characters appear much darker
when character outline is filled with properly spaced marking dots. Filling the space and making
the contour provides the darkest and the sharpest marks (Fig.10.4C). The best quality obviously
takes more time and laser resources. In most of the cases, filling the space without making the
outline is just enough for a good quality mark (Fig.10.4B).
