Whether you are printing photos, text or just printing something off the net to show friends or family the settings on your printer will determine the quality of print and therefore determine the longevity of the ink cartridges within. Prior to clicking the print button consumers need to consider what quality of print will be sufficient for the documents intended purpose.
If you do not mind constantly replacing ink cartridges I do not mind providing them to you, but if you would prefer to conserve your printer ink and stretch your dollar further there are a few things you can do.
Only print what you require. Instead of wasting ink and paper and printing reams of information directly from a web site, copy and paste the information you really need into a word document avoiding the unnecessary printing of images and extra text which will soak up your cash and the printer cartridge's ink in no time.
Print in draft mode when printing standard text. If the document is not going to be viewed and dissected over its print quality the "draft mode" is the easiest and most efficient setting to not only preserve ink but will also increase your printers printing speed. When you need to revert back to a presentation quality document then it is just as easy to revert back to "normal mode" or "best mode" for a better quality print.
Remove Colour from the equation by printing in grayscale. In many cases some inkjet printers will use the colour cartridges to print black even if the black cartridge has not run out. Since black inkjet cartridges tend to be much cheaper than colour inkjet cartridges, by selecting "grayscale" in your printer's settings this will prevent any chance of this happening.
Printing on both sides of the paper. As we speak there are trillions and trillions of A4 sheets of paper currently being deposited into office bins and ending up in landfill with only one side having been printed upon. If you are simply printing text or images, for your eyes only, printing on the reverse side of paper will save thousands over a lifetime.
And finally for the biggest saving of all buy compatible or remanufactured ink cartridges from a reputable supplier like Greengage Printer Supplies. Our products are second to none at competitive prices, with no compromise on quality, ultimately saving our valuable customers up to 70% on their printing consumables.
