PIC40 Product # 58.0052.3028.00 Non-OEM Replacement Ink Cartridge for use with FP PostBase 20, 30, 45, 65 and 85 Model Postage Meters (2 Pack)

Cost FAR less than the dealer. Worked even better!

Excellent replacement to our mailing supply company product. They want 3x as much for the same kind of ink. Used with FP PostBase 20 and works great

Consider this if you purchase this here. They both worked for about 1000 impressions and now the machine responds no contact to (Left/Right) Cartridge. One cartridge failed, machine reports back corresponding position as failed. Audible snap when starting ink discovery so something must be just out of tolerance with this cartridge.I have bought this same set six times previously and all other sets arrived and performed well. This one was a money loser.

Clear clean imprints and came well packaged

I purchased this product (Qty 2) for use in an FP Postbase 65. After inserting the cartridges from the first box, the alignment was successful with prints occurring as expected. Postage printed as expected the first day. The following day, the Postbase reported that there was no ink in the cartridges. It specifically reported that there was 0% remaining. I reset the cartridges and it reported that they were at 96%. Postage printed fine after that for a day. The following day, the meter reported that it could not communicate with the print cartridges. I took them out, inspected the chip and the contacts and, although they looked like refurbs, they didn't look damaged. I reinserted them, alignment was fine, but failed with the same error when trying to print postage.I then pulled those two cartridges out and used the cartridges from the second box that I had ordered and the alignment was successful, but then I received the communication error. I reseated them and got an error that the cartridge on the right was not responding. I swapped the cartridges from left to right and vice versa and was able to print some postage. After four imprints, I got the communication error again. After wiping the contacts gently, I got some more imprints, but then received the communication error again. Admittedly, these are non-FP certified cartridges, but the performance of this product is not acceptable and no discounted price makes up for a product that doesn't perform as desired. I would consider this a fluke except I purchased two sets of cartridges and they both failed.

story will be told by how long it lasts....

Works well in the Postbase machine and cost much less.

Great product. Haven't had any problems with the ink cartridge thus far. Would purchase again.
