Color Saver Tips

One of the colors (cyan, magenta or yellow) will run out first. The cost of a color inkjet cartridge is normally $5 or more than your black ink cartridge. Therefore, it is important to conserve color printer ink whenever you can. You would think that all the colors would be evenly used during the print cycle, however, this is not the case. Here are just a few tips to conserve your color ink.

• Print in Draft mode- Draft mode prints in lighter tones, allowing your printer to use much less color printer ink than it otherwise would. Unless your document needs to be of the highest quality, consider using draft mode to conserve both black and color ink cartridges.
• Use black for black- Nothing uses color printer ink faster than printing in black. If your black ink cartridge runs out, your printer will automatically use your color ink cartridge to make black ink. Check your black ink cartridge frequently to ensure you use as little color printer ink as possible.

Unfortunately, all your conserving efforts will not stop your color printer ink from running out.

So looking at compatible inkjet cartridges is another way of saving money on your everyday printing needs.
