Guest Post by By Hollie from ShoppingWithCents:Saving Money on Ink & Printing!I get asked this question all the time. How do you save money on ink?
We are in the business of finding all the excellent deals for you, helping you cut the cost of your shopping bill & we are always telling you to go here and print this coupon, but how can we cut the costs on our ink usage? Here are a few ideas on things you can do to help cut your printing costs:
1) Refill your ink cartridges. In my town there is a local shop that fills them for ½ of what it would have cost to purchase a new one. Check around your area, you can even find refill stations in your local mall. Walgreens refills your cartridges for $10-$15 typically. Also you can recycle your old ink cartridges at Staples & they will give you a $3 voucher which you can then use toward a new one!
2) Use recycled paper for your printing. This can include the kids leftover assignments from school, scrap papers, newsletters, etc. Any paper with a blank backside. I simply turn them over and print on the back. When using clean brand spanking new white paper I print coupons on both sides You know how you print off a coupon and it has a whole bunch of writing below it .what a waste! I print another single coupon on the other side running the opposite direction. My printer even does a excellent thing: When I am printing a single coupon, right after it shows the coupon coming out of my printer I can hit cancel and it doesnt print all that extra wording. Saves ink there!
3) Set your printer to draft quality. Simply go into your printer settings and select options and adjust accordingly. This uses half the ink and you still get the full coupon printout effect. I also print my coupons in black ink only. Color ink is so much more expensive to purchase, so not using color saves me a lot of money there. I havent had a coupon denied yet due to the fact that I print in black only.Hip2Save here:What are some ways you save on printer ink? I know we could all benefit from getting any additional tips on this topic!
