10 ways to save money on Printer Ink Cartridges
Nov 3rd, 2009 by admin
Here are some great tips to make printing more economical:
- Make ‘Draft quality’ your default print mode. This will save you both time and money.
- Use compatible ink cartridges. These ink cartridges are usually as good as genuine branded ones but at a fraction of the price. Reputable sellers will guarantee the quality of compatible cartridges.
- Many printers accept high yield cartridges. High yield cartridges are more expensive than normal yield but the cost per printed page can be significantly cheaper.
- Buy the right printer! Many people get seduced by a great deal when they buy a printer and are then shocked at the cost of replacement ink cartridges. Always, find out how much printer consumables are before you make your printer purchase.
- Be selective with your printing. Much ink is wasted with printing nonessential details. Just print what you need by using the cut and paste function when printing from websites, emails and other documents.
- Print 2 pages per sheet (providing, of course, you can clearly read the output).
- Buy from a reputable seller or supplier. We have found that shopping on-line is often a lot cheaper as on-line shops do not have the expensive overheads of retail outlets. Many on-line sellers help save you on postage too.
- Be loyal to your supplier. Look for a supplier that gives you loyalty points each time you purchase. It is amazing how quickly these points add up and contribute to your $ savings.
- Subscribe to your suppliers newsletter if they have one. Professional printer ink suppliers value communicating with their customers and often reward them with special incentives through their newsletter.
- Get your friends involved. Many ink cartridge sellers reward customers who refer new customers. Alternatively, you can often buy in bulk and save money on both cartridges and postage.
