UK ATM - Fast Stamp

The first 'Fast Stamp' was release on Oct. 8th, at Bristol Galleries branch post office, the number is 020511.
Above picture is from Grimsby branch post office. Its first day is Oct. 29th.
The complete set include 5 labels, see above picture. For up 4, could be got directly by one button. For value 'Worldwide Up to 10g', it must use another way to get it. If every time you buy more than 5 labels, the machine will cut off every 5 labels.
The receipt have the same width to Netherland's, so I supposed its type is ProPostal 2000 also like Netherland running.

Cover from Grimsby, canceled on Jan. 16th, buying on Jan. 14th.
