Pitney Bowes DM225 Ink Cartridges

Pitney Bowes DM225 Printer Review

The Pitney Bowes DM225 has generally the same feature set of other digital mailing systems in its lineup, but adds a little more speed, at up to 45 letters per minute. It also adds a little more bulk, but not enough to be significant. It still uses the same affordable Pitney Bowes DM225 printer ink for its inkjet transfer system, keeping costs low.

Managing stamps can be time-consuming, but even printing your own postage can be difficult when trying to keep up with changing rates. The IntelliLink technology built into the DM225 can connect over the internet or the included phone line to update to the latest rates, install its own software updates, and more without any interaction required of the user. The scale can handle pieces up to 10 lbs. for accurate weighing.

The DM225 can fit into fairly tight spaces, with dimensions of only 10.1x13.6x15.8 inches when the scale is included. It weighs only 16 pounds, so it can be moved out of the way for offices that only need it infrequently during the week. Media can range in size from 3x5 inches up to 13x15 inches, but the maximum thickness is 3/8 of an inch. For anything thicker the manufacturer recommends printing on adhesive labels.

The inkjet system for applying postage uses a single red Pitney Bowes DM225 ink cartridge. The system uses very little printer ink for each parcel, and replacing with compatible Pitney Bowes DM225 ink cartridges will save a lot of money over OEM versions, keeping running costs ultra-low.

When buyers need a simple postage machine for mass mailing but can't spare the extra space for a bulky device, the compact frame and solid features of the DM225 make it a good choice. Buyers will also appreciate the cost savings of Pitney Bowes DM225 ink.
