National Postal Forum Highlights Few, but Vital, Options for Smaller Mailers

Credible mailing consultants such as Mary Ann Bennett and printing trade publications like Printing Impressions have advised the rest of the printing and mailing industry, who are not in a position to martial this level of resources, to take a wait-and-see attitude. The “basic IMb” compliance deadline is May, 2011. An awful lot can happen in the meantime as the USPS continues to work out the glitches on its end and the multitude of industry software vendors are enhancing their IMb compliance solutions almost on a daily basis. Hopefully, free enterprise will kick in and software prices for IMb modules will come down.
