How Does IMS Hybrid Mail work?

Before using IMS Hybrid Mail you will need to download the IMS Hybrid Mail driver to your PC. Once this is done you are ready to send physical letters to any UK address simply by pressing print from within any Windows application. Rather than selecting your local laser or inkjet printer from the printer list, you select "Send It IMS Hybrid Mail".

We print your document at a location close to where it needs to go, and we print it out ready-sorted and barcoded for the Royal Mail to take the final few miles. Because we bypass a lot of the mechanical sorting and a lot of the trucking, our service actually costs less than the price of a first class stamp. There is no need for printers, ink, envelopes, stamps or franking.
