How to Make Printer Ink Last Longer

Home offices can get expensive. One of the costliest necessities is printer ink. Replacing these cartridges often costs upwards of $30. Here is a simple way you can make your ink last longer, so you can buy it less frequently.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. After choosing "Print" on your computer, scroll down for an option entitled "Quality and Media."

2. From the "Quality and Media" section choose option, "Quick Print." Some computers may call this option, "Draft."

3. A "Quick Print" or "Draft" print out will use about half as much ink as a regular print out. When printing out something very important, do not use this function. However, anything you are printing out for your reference or to bring to a class for example, can be printed with this function. Your ink will last at least twice as long if you choose to use this function regularly.
