Printing stamp sheets in SendPro Online

Stamps must be printed on Pitney Bowes stamp sheets. Each stamp sheet has a unique serial number and contains either 20 or 25 blank stamp stickers. Older sheets with 25 stamps (SL-SPM01) have serial numbers that start with "A", and newer sheets with 20 stamps (SL-SPM11) have serial numbers that start with a character other than "A". The system keeps track of how many stamps you print with each serial number, so you do not have to use the entire sheet at once.

The postage value printed is as-is and is not a USPS Forever Stamp. If USPS postal rates change, you can print a postage correction stamp which can be used with an already printed stamp to add additional postage.

Stamp sheets can be printed either from the SendPro Online software or from the web version of SendPro. Stamps without a date can only be printed from the SendPro Online software.

1. From the Home screen, select Stamp Sheets & Rolls.
   
2. Select Stamp Sheet.
   
3. Enter the serial number of the stamp sheet you will print and select Accept. If you have printed stamps before, the most recently used sheet is already selected.
4. From the Quantity menu, choose the number of stamps you wish to print. The stamp sheet image shows a preview of the stamps that will print.
5. Perform any of the optional tasks below to set up the stamps as needed.
6. Select Print.
   • If printing from a web browser, a PDF of the stamp sheet opens in a new browser window or tab. Use your browser's print function to print this file.
