Frequently Asked Questions
What is an inkjet mail base and when do I need one?
A vacuum-held transport that gives the printhead a flat, speed-matched surface. You need one when hand feeding or a converted conveyor is costing you registration and throughput; the Buskro BK7iB also ties feeders, dryers, and stackers into one line.
Which Buskro BK7iB belt configuration should I choose?
The 3-belt for standard mailers on a budget, the 4-belt for the best registration on most mailing and packaging work, and the double-wide belt for heavy, oversized, or hard-to-handle products.
What size pieces does the BK7iB run?
From CR80 credit-card size up to A3, with a maximum width of 22 inches, with no belt swaps or vacuum chamber changes across that range.
How does a base keep barcodes sharp at speed?
Spring-loaded rollers, recessed belts, and even-flow vacuum keep the piece from vibrating under the head, which is what keeps text and barcodes crisp over long runs.
Will the BK7iB work with feeders and tabbers from other brands?
Yes. Full-length aluminum extrusion rails mount heads, cameras, and curing lamps, and upstream and downstream interlocks sync it with tabbers, friction feeders, and conveyors from any manufacturer.
