ink?? help!!

ink?? help!!

Didn't find your answer?

What with accounts, tax returns etc etc all being produced via my pc I seem to be going through ink like its going out of fashion!!

Can anyone recommend a outlet (mail order or internet) who supply low cost ink cartridges.

I'm using a HP office jet D125xi if that helps.

Try...
Try theinkfactory.com .They do a 2 for 1 deal on many compatible cartridges. Sure I paid about £10 for 2 cartridges about three months ago.

Saving on ink
Theres a product called Inksaver which costs about £29 which will save ink usage. I have mine set to 25% and its fine.

Check it out on Inksaver.com to see if your printer is supported.

Also, set your printer to greyscale printing to avoid using up your colour cartridge. If there is a draft print setting try using it, the print quality is not as good but it also cuts down on ink usage.

ink usage
There are a couple of inksaving type programs available but they do have variable results, and comparable results can normally be had from tweaking printer driver settings. For budget ink i have used aktivdirect.co.uk a few times and they seem ok.

Inkjet printing is just not economical when you go to volume, a laserjet printer is a much better bet. These can be bought for £110 upwards and will churn out pages all day. The cost of each page is normally a lot lower than inkjet.

You can help save costs by printing returns in mono rather than colour. Some programs also have the option of turning off shading on returns, unshaded returns may not look as nice, but do the job just as well. Not only will it use less ink, it might print faster.
