To economically meet the
wire identification needs of the
electronic interconnect, industrial,
computer office automation,
marine, and electrical markets,
FIT-PRINT sleeves allow smear-
resistant, permanent identification.
The sleeves, available in white or
high-visibility bright yellow, feed
directly into dot matrix printers
(high carbon content ribbon
recommended). A standard ball-
point pen may also be used.
