A system facilitates printing of microtext. A processing component allows a user to create (272) one or more microtext characters, wherein the characters are output as a data packet. An SRE code store receives and associates (274) one or more SRE codes with the data packet, each SRE code is representative of a bit pattern, wherein the bit pattern is a grid of bits that are filled to create a particular pattern. A font bank receives the one or more SRE codes from the SRE code store and defines (276) such codes via a font. A raster image processor receives the font from the font bank, decodes the font and outputs (278) instructions to print the microtext.
