You've probably heard about the new 'digital stamps'.

So you have to pay £50/year, pay normal postage as well AND use your own ink and paper to make the buggers...

And the PO saves money'cos they don't have to print so many stamps.

Just a money-making exercise then?

Ive downloaded the software to try it but if you specify registered delivery etc you have got to go to the post office any way so it defeats the object of doing it yourself.

I was looking into it but the software it too constricting, if i want a slogan etc i will setup a envelope template in word etc and print it and bulk buy stamps.

swings and round things... I like to either, have logo labelled envelopes or boxes, or put a sticker with the logo on it. So Im printing and buying stationary anyway, so this way I can just combine it in the stamp...

saying that logo covered masking tape is far cheaper...

1) You have to register to download. I hate that.

2) Once installed, they claim you have to reboot before the software will work.

3) Unimpressed in the extreme with the user interface. Went to cheapest bidder by the look of it.
