Case Study: How To Get Better Printing

By Harold Heidebrecht


In this bustling technology world, there are only two main types of printers: inkjet and laser. Though there are some people who prefer to get an inkjet, there are even more who are choosing to buy a laser printer due to its high quality prints. For many professionals in the printing business, they use only the highest quality laser printers.

The only snag that comes along with such high quality is the fact that toner cartridges for laser printers can be a bit expensive. Therefore, if your laser printer runs out of toner, it will cost you a little extra money to replace the cartridge. There are some great and easy steps you can take to make sure your laser printer's toner cartridges last a long time.

Color prints are one of the quickest ways someone can use up their toner.

This tip goes for both laser printers and inkjet printers. When you compare black ink prints to color prints, color prints often cost you much more. This is especially helpful if you know you will be printing many drafts before completing a final print; you can print all of your drafts in black and white and save the color for the final print. This is one of the best ways to save money on color toner cartridges.

Another easy way to save toner is to change the settings on your printer.

For your run of the mill printing job, you can change the settings on your printer to draft print quality. Remember that the higher the quality of the print, the more toner is used on that one print. It is for this reason that draft quality will use less toner. The best time to print in high quality is if you are trying to make an impression or you are doing a presentation with these prints.

You can also save on toner by changing your printer's settings to only print black and white prints. By changing this setting, you will ensure that the printer does not use any expensive color ink on normal prints. One last setting you can change to save on toner is to make sure your printer prints multiple pages per sheet.

When printing it is often helpful to use print preview.

Using the print preview option can help out anybody who is planning on printing a document. The print preview option helps give you an idea of what the final product will look like. You can use this option to see both the layout of your print and to help you decide if anything needs to be adjusted. If you accidentally print out a document with mistakes on it, you have wasted both paper and toner; the print preview option saves you from making that mistake.

Next, you should always be aware of the fonts you are choosing for your documents.

Though some people have preferences for font size, the best size to be printing is usually size ten or twelve. By pairing this with thinner fonts, you can save toner.
