Choose Eco fonts
Eco fonts are great because they are a simple and cheap solution for an office with high print usage. A reduction in toner is achieved by using less toner per letter on text. The trick lies in little holes the font uses, so a lot less toner is used in printing. Generally speaking, the eco fonts do not require any modifications to existing fonts and the software is widely available being easily customizable. In addition, Eco fonts are compatible with all printers.
Save money by choosing draft as default
Most desktop printers are designed to provide above average printing quality. One great option to save money is to default your print to draft quality. Most documents are only read once with little or no need for storage, so why use high quality printing for a document that will be barely read once?
To set up draft quality you must do the following on most Windows based printers:
(a) Click on tools
(b) Options
(c) Print tab
(d) Under print management choose draft
(e) OK
After following these quick steps you will be all set to save on printing and make those expensive little cartridges last a little longer. Bottom line, every drop of ink counts.
Anybody said generic?
70% of the medicines sold in the United States are generic. They contain the same chemical components that brand name medicines do, and they deliver the same results. If people trust their lives to compatibles, why not put this same trust (in a lesser scale) in generic cartridges for their printers? These days the quality of generics can be just as good as OEM quality and best of all, savings can quickly pile up. With a slowing economy, people as well as office managers will find a safe and reliable alternative in compatible toner.
Choose the right printer for your needs
Do you really need that expensive duplex feeder option? How about that fancy display? That storage area for paper reams? Unless your office requires it, there is no need to buy a big work horse for things a pony can do. Try to save on printers by avoiding options you don't necessarily need for your office. Don't buy on impulse, speak with your office manager and find out your print output per week. Get the facts straight and then shop around. Would an inexpensive Brother DCP 8060 or a Brother DCP 8045d toner be better for your home or office's needs? Sometimes having the right information can end up saving you money.
Keep in mind the following:
(1) Know your page out per month. Know how much you print and have printed over the past six months. Notice trends and color usage patterns. Ask yourself if you need expensive digital printing. Ponder on whether or not you can do fine with basic average color or if you really need picture quality for your office printer?
(2) Stay away from OEM cost per copy programs, those are designed with a catch and you always end up paying more. You cannot control your use of supplies and the costs far outweigh the benefits. Shoot for a machine that you can control its toner supply.
(3) Does that document need to be printed at all? PDF options and electronic signatures today are the norm. Email the document to the recipient in a PDF form first, and only print documents when absolutely necessary.
(4) Are you controlling and monitoring your color printing? Does anyone keep tabs or watches what is being printed at your office? It is hard to resist employees printing their summer vacation pictures at the company`s expense. A good managed control of the color printer can end up saving big bucks at the end of the year. Use printing wisely.
(5) Try to find printers that have a compatible alternative. This will help you down the line in the future to downsize the cost of toner replacement.
