Already own a BP555e dispenser and want to print on tape as you dispense? This kit mounts the Smart-Jet BLUE PRO inkjet printer to the back of your BP555e using our precision metal plate and encoder assembly. It is the modern, 21st century take on the CodeTaper concept without the mess of ink rollers and rubber letters. Printing occurs on the dry tape above the roll before the feed wheels and brush so your code travels with the box.
Because the tape starts and stops during dispense, some prints will be partial, squished, or show gaps. That is normal operation. On an 18 inch length you may see a code or two that looks off, yet you should expect at least one clean, readable print on the tape section applied to the box.
BP555e machine not included. Typical install time is about 30 minutes using our video playlist. Live help via FaceTime or WhatsApp is available.
Because the Smart-Jet prints while the BP555e is actively feeding and cutting tape, occasional print variation may occur. These are normal behaviors of on-demand printing on reinforced water activated tape and can be minimized with proper setup and handling. Here are sample prints:
