FAQs

Is this cartridge compatible with all Postbase models?

This cartridge is designed for specific Postbase franking machines. Always verify your machine's model number against the MPN 58.0052.3036.00 to ensure full compatibility.

How many cartridges are in the package?

Each package contains 2 individual ink cartridges, each with 10ml of blue ink.

Does this ink meet postal regulations?

Yes, the ink is formulated to provide high-contrast, legible impressions that meet standard requirements for mail franking.

How should I store these cartridges?

Store in a cool, dry place, kept in their original sealed packaging until use to prevent the ink from drying out.

Will using a compatible cartridge void my machine's warranty?

While using third-party supplies is generally safe, you should consult your specific machine's warranty documentation regarding the use of non-OEM consumables.

Troubleshooting

Poor or faint print quality

Run the machine's internal 'Clean Print Head' utility through the control menu.

Error message indicating unrecognized cartridge

Remove the cartridge, ensure the contacts are clean, and re-seat the cartridge firmly in the housing.

Smudged or streaked impressions

Wipe the surface of the print head gently with a lint-free cloth and ensure the ink has had a moment to dry on the envelope before handling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective alternative to OEM cartridges
  • Individually tested for reliability and quality control
  • Standard 10ml volume per cartridge
  • Easy to install and replace in Postbase machines

Cons

  • Compatible product, not an original Francotyp Postalia part
  • Limited to blue ink applications
  • Requires proper machine calibration for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, power off your Postbase franking machine, open the cartridge access door, and remove the empty unit by pressing the release tab. Slide the new Alpa-Cartridge unit into the slot until it clicks firmly into place. Ensure the machine is properly calibrated after installation by running a test print. Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, and keep them in their original packaging until they are ready to be installed to maintain ink viscosity and quality.
