How to save ink

Toner and Ink cartridge economy can save you money on ink in the long run. The following guidelines are a good starting point to cutting down your printing costs:

Use black ink cartridges only when printing text

A good method of saving ink is to only print in colour when you have to. Colour inkjet cartridges are more expensive than black ink cartridges so if you are printing for reading and not for high quality presentation, photographs or design, change your print settings to use black ink only.

Use compatible cartridges or recycled cartridges

Good quality cartridges made by brands other than the printer's manufacturer are generally cheaper then original equipment manufacturer (OEM) cartridges and provide the same standard of printing finish. Recycled, or remanufactured printer cartridges, also reduce waste by re-using original cartridges.

Use economy printing

If your printer has a "low" or "economy" setting for print quality, give it a try and see if this print standard is ok for printed documents. This should cut down on the ink used by your printer for the print job.
