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)
