Are you ready for decertification?

On December 31, 2024, the USPS® plans to discontinue all postage meters that are not IMI (Intelligent Mail Indicia) compliant.

Quadient’s iX-1 Series postage meter combines mail and parcel processing into one easy solution. With a full set of standard features and innovative apps, nothing delivers like the iX-1.

IMI printing technology Perfect for your small business or home office, Quadient’s iX-1 has Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI) printing technology, soon to be a mandatory requirement of the USPS®. While most postage meters today generate IBI (Information- Based Indicia), IMI technology offers enhanced security and increased postage accuracy.

Take the guesswork out of postage With a standard 10 lb. scale, the iX-1 can automatically weigh and calculate postage values guaranteeing you pay the correct amount for every item you send, every time. Never guess the price or overpay for postage again.

Avoid time-consuming trips to the post office Process mail and parcels from the convenience of your office. Access over 50 USPS® rates and services including First-Class Mail®, Priority Mail® and Certified MailTM. With an iX-1, you will receive timely USPS® rate updates and be able to print postage 24/7.

Personalize your mail Increase open rates and help promote your business with ad slogans, custom text messages and company logos with just the click of a few buttons.

Streamline shipping processes with Neoship ADVANCED Quadient’s online shipping software enables multi-carrier shipping and so much more. Automatically compare rates across USPS®, FedEx® or UPS®* to find the lowest cost or fastest delivery time to get your parcels to their final destination. The single screen interface is easy to use, saves you time, and makes rate shopping a breeze. Neoship meets the latest USPS® IM®pb (Intelligent Mail® package barcode) requirements. Also receive the following benefits:

• Qualify for discounted postage rates with Commercial Base Pricing

• Get FREE address correction services

• Access FREE insurance - Priority Mail® (up to $100 value) and Priority Mail Express™ (up to $100 value)

• Generate detailed reports based on shipment history/operator shipments/transactions

The iX-1 postage meter with its new sleek design and user-friendly interface is fully IMI compliant and USPS® approved.

• Meet USPS® requirements

• Enhance security and ensure postage accuracy

• Avoid interrupted mail service

Mailers are encouraged to adopt new machines by June 2024 in order to not miss the deadline.

Your postage meter is smarter than you think. It can even order ink cartridges for you at exactly the right time. As a result, there’s no need to:

• Closely monitor the ink level in your mailing system

• Ensure orders are placed early enough to avoid running out of ink and disrupting your mail flow

• Take time out of your schedule to call or go online to order ink

• Communicate with company purchasing staff to request an ink order

It’s actually as simple as it sounds. Just leave your meter connected to your local area network. When the ink level reaches 20%, your meter alerts Quadient that you’ll need a replacement cartridge soon.

Quadient will promptly ship you a new ink cartridge so that it arrives before your system runs out of ink.

You’ll also get notification emails when each ink order is created and when each replacement cartridge ships.

Best of all, your ink orders are charged to your Postage Funding account, so you’ll get a single bill for both the postage you download and the ink cartridges you buy.

There’s no fees of any kind, and you can opt out whenever you want.
