FP Optimail 25 and Optimail 35 Franking Machines: A Review

The FP Mailing Optimail 25 and Optimail 35 are low to mid-volume franking machines that both frank up to 200 letters and labels per day. The key difference is speed: the Optimail 25 works at 25 franks per minute, while the Optimail 35 reaches 32 franks per minute. Both are compact, easy-to-use machines aimed at growing businesses.

FP Optimail 25 vs Optimail 35

The Optimail 25 and Optimail 35 franking machines are a step up from FP Mailing Ltd’s Mymail machine, offering a little more versatility for a growing business. They are classed as low to mid-volume machines, with small differences between the two models in the range. Both are capable of franking up to 200 letters and labels per day. The difference is in the speed: the Optimail 25 works at a rate of 25 franks per minute, whereas the Optimail 35 delivers 32 franks per minute.

Printing Technology

Both the Optimail 25 and Optimail 35 use thermal printing. This is technology that has been established for many years and is not as good quality when printing on uneven surfaces as some of the latest inkjet franking machines. The two machines in this range are small and compact, like the Mymail franking machine, meaning they take up little office space while still allowing you to make the most of lower franked mail prices.
