Brand-name printer ink and toner cartridges (such as Hewlett-Packard (HP), Lexmark, Brother, Dell, Epson, Okidata and Xerox) are expensive, and printing costs money. Inevitably, the ink and toner cartridge youre using has a tendency to run out at the most inopportune moment, stopping you in your tracks and costing you big money. Additionally, if youre wasting paper, productive time and paying too much for laser and ink printer cartridges,
Ink Mart has the 10 best tips to help you reduce your printing expenses. So take a look at these easy-to-use printer tips: Creating Documents Obviously, the first step is creating the documents you need to print, and you can actually choose fonts for your document that use less ink or toner when printing, which makes them ecofriendly (such products as Eco font) will save you about 20% compared to standard fonts. Also, try to use less text in bold (italics often emphasizes just as well and uses less ink), use smaller fonts or font sizes and write your text concisely. Reviewing and Revising Documents Thoroughly review your document on your monitor for errors before printing and encourage anyone else reviewing the document to do likewise, rather than giving them a hard copy, unless they must handwrite edits. This reduces the number of copies you will print overall, and youll not only save money on ink and toner, but paper as well. Optimize Your Printer The right settings optimize savings. Draft settings - Dont manually choose the low quality or draft settings every time you print a draft, make this your default setting. Youll have to choose the high quality setting manually, but only for the last printer run. This also makes your work or staffs work more productive in terms of time. Print layout - You may be able to print several pages on a single piece of paper or you may be able to print on both sides of a paper. Both options can save tons of ink/toner and paper. Please remember that if you change settings here, every print job will be printed like this per default, so be sure to change it back if its not your norm. Print in black and white - Black ink or black toner cartridges are cheap compared to color ink and toner cartridges, so printing in black when you dont really need the color will save you bucks. Make this option your default, and only select color when youre really to roll out the finished document. Reduce resolution 300 dpi (dots per inch) are usually sufficient, and high resolutions only need to be used on high quality photo paper. Selecting What to Print Only print what you need. Just print the parts of a document you need, if you dont need the whole document, and dont print pictures and graphics when you only want the text, etc. If someone is making handwritten edits to the text, you can skip printing the graphics, unless they specifically want to review those as well. You can opt out of printing graphics by changing preferences in your print menu. Print Previews Before you print anything, use the print preview option and eyeball the document pages for any odd page endings, etc. that may occur. This eliminates unnecessary print runs and saves paper, ink and toner, and time. Keep Printing Til You Cant Print No More, Pardner! If your printer reports that the ink or toner cartridge is empty or very low, you may have 10-30% left in the cartridge, so keep printing until the printer refuses to print any longer. However, at the first warning that your ink or toner printer supplies are low, make sure you have a replacement cartridge or order one ASAP. Green Printing There are innovative software programs on-line that analyzes print jobs and alerts you to any potential waste of resources (e.g.,GreenPrint). Its easy to eliminate unwanted pages, and you can print your document to a PDF, requiring no ink or toner and no paper at all. Additionally, it can tell you how much paper you have saved. Hows that for incentive to keep on doing so?! Printing Website Pages Use on-line website editors (such as PrintWhatYouLike.com) to optimize other web pages printing, and eliminate ads and white spaces. Just enter the URL of a page youd like to print, click start and begin editing. Choose Your Ink and Toner Cartridge Vendor Wisely Comparison shop and youll likely find that on-line vendors will save you more time and money than the local office retail and discount stores. On-line vendors, such as InkMart, are certainly more price competitive, have a wider selection and carry a larger stock of printer products, including POS printers for retailers, but ask these questions before selecting any vendor: Are their products reliable? What is their distribution procedure, speed and delivery accuracy? How easy is it for me to place an order? What about shipping costs and discounts? How good is their customer support? Can they help me keep track of my ink and toner supply, so I dont run out unexpectedly? NO CONTRACTS AND WARRANTY MYTHS In these economic times, you need the ability to take advantage of the best price out there, without sacrificing service, in order to increase your profits and/or simply reduce your expenses. Are you leasing your equipment where your ink and toner are free or included in the lease price? You know theres really no free lunch. Before renewing your lease, do your research on how many cartridges and other printer parts the leasing company has supplied and determine what you might have paid if they were not included. You may find that negotiating a lease without the free ink and toner cartridges may actually save you money! And if the leasing vendor tells you that after-warranty parts being used in the leased printer will void the printers warranty, remind them about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act enacted by Congress in 1975, which in effect prevents any manufacturer from voiding the warranty of any device simply based on the use of compatible or remanufactured parts or supplies, even if those parts are not the reason for the printers failure to perform properly.
