Franking machine ink should always be bought from a Royal Mail authorised ink supplier or its retailers, and matched to your machine’s make and model. Mailcoms is one of only two companies in the UK to have its own brand of franking ink approved by Royal Mail, and was the first company in the UK to offer refilling and recycling of franking machine ink cartridges.
Where to buy franking machine ink
Royal Mail requires franking ink to be ordered from authorised ink suppliers or their retailers. Buying approved ink keeps your franking impressions clear and accepted, which helps you avoid surcharges on underpaid or unreadable mail.
Match the ink to your machine
Customers usually search by manufacturer first, so look for ink by your machine brand – for example Pitney Bowes, Quadient (formerly Neopost), FP Mailing or Frama – and then the exact model. Mailcoms supplies consumables for all of these brands.
Mailmark uses blue ink
Mailmark is Royal Mail’s current barcode franking standard and uses blue ink. If you run a Mailmark machine, make sure you are buying the correct blue franking ink.
Save with approved ink and refills
Mailcoms own-brand franking ink is approved by Royal Mail, and our cartridge refilling and recycling service can reduce what you spend on consumables.
