In our everyday work such as in offices, schools, printing
services and all associated with the use of computers and printers, must not be
separated from the consumption of paper and ink. But have we ever thought how
much the cost of paper and ink consumption and paper waste that cause results
every month. in this case it is good to get together and find solutions to
these problems.
Here are some tips to save on printer usage:
#Keep The Print
Cartridges Alive
Even though you may not have a need
to print something everyday, try to use both your black and color
printer cartridges once a week or so. Just print something
small or run a diagnostic test. If you let your printer ink cartridges sit,
they will eventually dry up, meaning you’re out of luck when it comes to ink.
This applies to all brands so Epson printer ink cartridges
will be just as affected as Brother printer ink cartridges.
# Only Print What You Want
If you want to print only a portion of the page, just in
select the block in the desired area and select the print mode selection area
or, if you are using office applications such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft
Excel. So which came out just a block section only.
# Use the "Print Preview"
Before printing try to always "print preview" to
the prints really fit in want. if it does not fit, just in setting the paper
size, margins and others. Having done according to the desired print command.

# Use the Generic Printer Cartridge (Also called
Replacement Cartridge or Cartridge Compatible)
Although you will not necessarily get more ink out of the
cartridge generic than you do with print cartridges OEM brand manufacturers,
you will definitely save money. And the whole point of saving printer ink is to
save money, right? Well, you can certainly save money by using generic printer
ink, especially for those bulk print jobs. If you need to print a lot of black
and white copies of something, the generic is the way to go all the way.
# Use mode "fast draft"
If you want to save on ink costs, always use mode "fast
draft" if you use an inkjet printer, or "Economode" for laserjet
printer.
This mode will help a little if that will print only the
form of text, graphics except for the normal mode or the best use.
# Set Your Prints
Do a little planning before you hit the print button. This
means, proofread text, adjust images and double check everything before you
print. If you look to the copies after printing and dissatisfied, printer ink
is wasted, there. Not to mention the wasted paper.
# Use Black Ink More
If you do not plan to submit the print out as a report or
project, skip the color. Make sure your printer is set to print in monochrome
and you can save your color ink for more involved projects later down the line.
No point wasting the color on simple text or web print out, right?
# Use the electronic storage media
If we have an important document, it would be safer if we
keep in softcopy form, if possible. And save it to the computer, servers and
other storage media and do not forget to backup. For sending document can use
email or the like. so it does not always have to be in print
