FAQs

Is this ink permanent and water-resistant?

Yes, the ink is formulated to meet standard postal requirements for durability and readability on processed mail.

Does using a remanufactured cartridge void my franking machine warranty?

Generally, using high-quality remanufactured supplies does not void warranties, but check your specific machine manufacturer policy regarding consumables.

How many pages can I actually expect to print?

The cartridge is rated for up to 800 pages based on standard industry test patterns for franking machines.

Is the blue color suitable for official postal use?

Yes, the blue ink is specifically formulated to meet the visual standards required by postal services for franking marks.

Should I shake the cartridge before installation?

It is recommended to gently shake the cartridge side-to-side before installation to ensure the ink is evenly distributed within the internal reservoir.

Troubleshooting

The franking machine displays an 'Ink Cartridge Missing' error.

Remove the cartridge and ensure the contacts are clean and free of debris, then reseat the cartridge firmly until you hear a click.

Print quality appears faint or streaky.

Run the built-in 'Clean Print Head' utility from your franking machine's maintenance menu to clear potential air bubbles or nozzle clogs.

Ink is blotting on the envelope.

Ensure you are using standard franking-compatible envelopes and that the print head alignment settings on your machine are calibrated correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply open your franking machine's ink compartment access panel, release the existing cartridge according to your machine's manual, and insert the Q-Connect cartridge until it clicks securely into place. This cartridge is compatible with the following Pitney Bowes models: DM50, DM55, DM700, and 21. For proper care, keep the cartridge stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. If the machine will not be in use for more than two weeks, consider running a print head cleaning cycle or a test print upon reactivation to ensure the ink remains fluid and the nozzles remain clear.
