The Holiday Mailing Ink Checklist: Don't Run Dry in December
November through January is the heaviest mail stretch of the year.
Cards. Invoices. Year-end statements. Promos.
Your meter runs harder. Your ink runs out faster.
Here's how to not get caught empty mid-mailing.
The 5-minute holiday ink checklist
- Check your ink level today. Not the week you need it.
- Know your yield. Example: our ECOQ357 for Quadient iX-3 runs ~17,000 impressions. Divide by your daily volume. That's your runway.
- Have a spare on the shelf. One in the meter, one in the drawer.
- Don't forget sealing solution. Running out of sealer stops a mailing just as fast as running out of ink.
- Confirm your exact model. Pitney Bowes, Quadient/NeoPost, and FP all use different cartridges. Even within a brand, fit varies.
- Order before the peak. Early November beats mid-December.
Make sure it's USPS-ready
Meter imprints need fluorescent red ink. Every postage meter cartridge we sell meets that.

A note on stock
Postage meter cartridges can sell through quickly this time of year.
