The Meter Stamp Society - Computer Vended Postage (CVP) Dated

Pitney Bowes announced in late March 2011 a new form of PC Postage with the brand name pbSmartPostage. Postage printing is possible from any computer. The account software is located on the Internet rather than the user's computer. This is known as "Cloud Computing". As with other versions of PC Postage, a stamp can be printed on a computer printer on a special sheet of die cut peelable labels. The method also prints a parcel postage label similar to previous forms of Internet Download labels. These can be printed on plain paper or a large peelable label..
