How to save money on Printing?


Despite all the talk about paperless workflow, the use of hard copies of documents are rapidly increasing with each passing day, without showing any sign of decline in the near future.
On the other hand, it's no secret that the main earnings for companies that produce Printing devices, in particular printers, are not the sale of devices themselves, but of consumables for these devices - cartridges and paper.

So, the increasing cost of printing worries all and that is why companies desperately look for ways to lower printing expenses as far as possible.  Always keep in mind that Print saving is a common problem for both the home users and professional companies.  Just have a look at some important ways to save some bucks on printing: 

  • Buy Printers Available on Reasonable Price Tags 
As we know, an inkjet printer is the cheapest when you buy it, but not during operation. Some people invest a good sum of money on buying expensive printers because they prefer quality over quantity. However, the actual cost of ink may catch up with the cost of the printer itself in case of some models of inkjet printers.

Just try to the capacity of the cartridge, calculate the cost of one printed page and evaluate the long-term printing costs for using different printers. Always keep in mind that the cartridge for the laser printer is somewhat more expensive than for the inkjet printer.

But, its capacity is much larger and is cheaper to print one page. So, you must buy printers and cartridge available on affordable price tags and make sure that printing documents will be more profitable for you without compromising the quality.
  • Extend the Life of Printers with Careful Use
A simple way to save money on printing is to extend the life of an inkjet printer cartridge. Just print some documents in draft mode if possible. The actual cost of printing such a page becomes half and the speed of printing is increased up to a great extent. It is worth experimenting with several printing modes to find a compromise mode that allows you to save ink, increase speed, and achieve acceptable print quality.
  • Save Inexpensive Paper
Generally, expensive branded papers are used to print the final versions of documents when companies have to submit the legal documents to the law enforcement agencies, complete the documentation of employees, get projects from clients and customers, etc. Nevertheless, if you are using an inkjet printer, the quality of prints may be affected by the use of cheaper third-party paper.

In case of laser printers, this will allow you to make tangible savings. A good method to save paper is not to throw away test and unnecessary printed sheets but to use them for trial printing and printing drafts. They can easily be inserted into the printer from a different side. At the same time, make sure that the crumpled paper does not fall into the printer.
  • Resort To n-up Printing
 There is a technology known as n-up printing, which allows you to fit more content on one page. Select the printing preferences by right-clicking on the printer icon. In addition to other printing options, the opened dialog box also contains the page scaling function. For the same purpose, you can use the special tools SlickBok 7 or FinePrint
  • Two-sided printing
You can buy a printer with automatic page rotation to print on both sides of the sheet. In desktop printers, however, it is necessary to turn pages manually. For two-sided printing, this device takes a lot of time and you need to have the patience. This helps you to save a considerable amount of money on printing.
  • Save Money by Typing on Toner Remains
When the software indicates that the toner is over and even if there are already dull vertical stripes on the prints, the cartridge has not yet completely emptied. A lot of toner is pinned to the corners and sides of the cartridge. It is necessary to pull out the cartridge and smoothly shake it in different directions. By putting it in the right place, you make sure that you can print on.
  • Buy Affordable ink online
You should buy ink from rom independent manufacturers and online stores. Just bargain on the price tags and look for special offers/discounts. There are chances that you can get quality ink on lower price tags to save some bucks.

Final Words:


The paper printing needs of companies are increasing with each passing day and so are the costs. By following the above-mentioned tips, they can significantly reduce the cost of maintaining the printer and printing documents for meeting personal and professional needs.
