My Secret To Crafting a Life Of Better Supplies

By Brian Rowls


When you look around at the percentages of people using inkjet printers versus laser printers, you'll see that most people choose inkjet printers due to the significantly lower price. People who need the best quality from their printers, however, are discovering that the best quality a person can get is from a laser printer using toner cartridges.

Those who opt for an inkjet printer will often say that they chose that style because the cartridges cost much less than a toner cartridge. People frequently balk at the thought of having to pony over a good chunk of money in order to replace an empty toner cartridge. Luckily, there are methods of printing and steps you can take that will make your toner cartridges last much longer.

One of the easiest ways to conserve your toner cartridges is to follow the age-old strategy of avoiding color prints. Color toner (and ink) costs quite a bit more than black toner. Color toner should be reserved only for the last draft of a document; if you will be printing early versions of something, it is best to stick to greyscale. In this way, the color toner (which is more expensive) will not run out as quickly.

You can also conserve the toner in your cartridges by only printing in a low-quality setting except for professional documents. There is no reason to print anything except the last draft of any document in a higher quality, since that will be wasting your toner. By remembering that a lower print quality equates to less toner used, you'll really save some money in the long run. You can make your life a lot easier by simply setting the default quality to the draft setting; then, when you need to print something for a presentation or for the boss, you can change the printer to a higher setting.

While we are on the subject of defaults, it couldn't hurt to also set your default print job to greyscale. Making your default settings the ones that conserve toner is simply the smartest thing you can do for your toner cartridges.

Finally, you should be sure to preview your print job on the computer screen before you decide to print. Almost every application will include a print preview option, which can help you figure out if a document is ready to print. This can help you catch content that does not fit on your page and margins or spaces that simply look bizarre. You should only print your document after you've made sure that the document sits on the page exactly as you want it to.
