Pitney Bowes E700 Printer Review

The unit is quite compact and lightweight. It can handle media with a minimum size of 3x5 inches, with a maximum thickness of 5/16". Since the machine only needs to hold the top corner, there is virtually no maximum size limitation.

Setting up the device is fairly straightforward. Users connect the power cable and install the Personal Post E700 ink cartridge. After the phone line is connected, the manual walks users through the process of loading postage credits, and it is ready to start printing with it inkjet system. The unit can hold up to $1000 in credits, so it will not have to be reloaded too frequently unless extremely high volumes of mail are processed.

The printer ink system is quite efficient, and each printing uses very little Personal Post E700 ink. This means users won't be replacing their Pitney Bowes E700 ink frequently, keeping the running costs very low.

The setup and operation of the E700 is quite simple, and its affordable cost makes it a much better value for low-volume tasks than larger devices with more advanced features.
