Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, January 2002
An improved Stylus Indent Marking System -
the ProPoint 2331 ™ - has been introduced to the industrial market for simple, durable marking of metals and plastics, by Matthews International.

Major improvements in the system include a touch-screen controller in addition to simplification of message editing and management. A large 4.5" x 3.5" screen permits easy file creation and editing. Before the marking is made on the substrate, with the large touch-screen display users are able to preview the entire message exactly as it will look. The control unit operates via stable Windows CE software for reliable marking in industrial environments. It is ideally suited to permanent marking of metal and plastics up to 50 Rockwell C for marking a 1" x 3" area with product information, serial numbers, date, time coding and logos. Radius marking with dot matrix or gothic fonts is standard. The system's one compact industrial cabinet readily encloses message control, trigger and power supply.

The ProPoint Model 2331 complements Matthews wide range of marking and coding systems for complete package and product identification. Further information may be obtained from Matthews International Corp., Marking Products Division, 6515 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.
