4 Ways to Make Printer Cartridges Last Longer

4 WAYS TO MAKE PRINTER CARTRIDGES LAST LONGER #1 Ignore out-of-ink warnings 4 Your heart sinks when you see that little warning flash up on the screen. But you can just ignore it and keep on printing. When they tested cartridges, PC Worid found that they still had up to 45% of their ink after the warning popped up. #2 Use a small font Big chunky fonts use up more ink than smaller, standard fonts such as Arial or New Courier. The size of your font also makes a difference. It's surprising how much ink you can save by using a size 12 font instead of a size 14 for example. Change your printer settings #3 The factory settings use more ink than necessary, so alter the settings via 'printer preferences' on Windows computers and laptops. Set print quality to draft, colour to grayscale and document options to print multiple pages per sheet. #4 Only print what you need It seems obvious but very few of us actually do it. Make sure to proofread all of your documents before printing them out to avoid wastage. When printing off articles etc, get rid of things like adverts and photos that you don't absolutely need. azerO avenue working together to get the job done... www.azero.co.za Source: http://frugalliving.about.com/od/householdsavings/tp/Make_Printer_Ink_Last.htm
