If you use a Frama franking machine – now owned by Quadient – you already know how essential it is to keep your Frama franking ink cartridge performing at its best – poor quality ink can lead to faded impressions, machine errors, and rejected mail. In this 2026 guide, we’ll show you exactly how to get the right ink at the right price, and how to choose Royal Mail compatible cartridges that don’t void your warranty.
At Mailcoms, we’ve spent over a decade supplying high-quality, Royal Mail approved compatible and original ink cartridges for Frama machines. We manufacture many of our inks here in the UK and test them rigorously to ensure:
Whether you’re using an older model like the Matrix F62 or a newer FS Series 3 or FX Series 9 machine, we’ve got you covered.
The FS Series 3 is the most recent entry level Mailmark franking machine from Frama, used by many UK small businesses. This franking machine connects via LAN, offers simple on-screen guidance, and prints clean, Royal Mail approved franks with minimal training.
The Frama FN Series models, which were later rebranded, are part of Frama’s older Mailmark range, offering touchscreen navigation, improved tracking, and cloud-based updates. Our supplies for these franking machines cover the following models: FN Series 5, FN Series 7, FN Series 7.5 & FN Series 9.
The Frama FX Series models are part of Frama’s much latest range of Mailmark franking machines which replaced the FN Series. Our supplies for these franking machines cover the following models: FX Series 5, FX Series 7, FX Series 7.5 & FX Series 9.
The Frama Matrix Series of franking machine models are part of Frama’s much older Mailmark range (many of which are no longer in the field or are obsolete). As such, we can only supply franking ink for a handful of these models (whilst stocks last). Our supplies for these franking machines cover the following models: Matrix F2, Matrix F2L, Matrix F4, Matrix F4L, Matrix F6, Matrix F12, Matrix F22, Matrix F32, Matrix F42, Matrix F62 & Matrix F82.
This is one of the most common questions we get. So lets break it down.
