Choose Eco fonts

Eco fonts are great because they are a simple and cheap solution for the 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 out there.

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 read just 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 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? That fancy display? 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 Dell 5100cn Toner or a Dell 5110cn 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.

Shop around

Don't just walk into any office supplies store hoping for a bargain. Online shopping is your best bet when looking to save money on ink or find a decent printer.

Questions about Dell 5100cn toner cartridges

Answer: This is a common problem with this printer and there are many things you can try to improve the performance of your dell 5100cn toner cartridges and get an excellent printing quality. Check if your Toner Save Mode is off (in the print driver, under preferences). If you're still printing gray, you may need to replace the PHD (print head unit). Another thing you can try is to restore the defaults on the printer. There's also the possibility that not all of the ribbons have been removed from the PHD unit inside. To remove them all, you'll need to open the front cover of the dell 5100cn printer, move the four tabs 90 degrees and pull the whole PHD out and take off the 4 yellow ribbons. I will return to normal after 40 or 50 pages printed. Be careful with this because if you've already print with all or some of the ribbons, you're PHD units might be damaged and you'll have to buy new ones. Check that the Non-Dell Toner in the Printer Maintenance tab in the Tool Box is not selected. Verify that you're using the correct print media. Take out the dell 5100cn toner cartridge and shake it slowly

Answer: There might be a scratch in your yellow fuser roller, change the imaging drum

Answer: This might be for three reasons, the first an easy to solve is that you have toner dust and you'll need to vacuum the excess of toner. The second reason is that you need a new Fuser. The Fuser is the hot thing in the back of your printer that stick the toner into the paper, after 100.000+ pages printed is normal that the Teflon it has wears out and start duplicating text and images. The third reason, and it happens when just one color is repeating, is that your toner cartridge for that color is damaged and you'll need to replace it

Answer: This is apparently another common issue with dell printers, when this happen, stop the printing session and slowly pull the jammed paper from the printer. If the printer keeps showing the jammed paper message is because a little piece of paper is still inside of the printer so turn it off and then carefully remove all the paper pieces and start all over again
