How to Save Ink Printing

I print. You print. We all print. However, just because we all print the same amount doesn’t mean that we’re spending the same amount of money on our supplies. Maybe it’s time to rethink your ink strategy?
Just how much ink does your printer go through? More importantly, how much are you paying for that ink? Are you over-spending? You can easily find out using the overpayment calculator on Kodak’s website. I found out that I have overpaid $137.16 for my ink in the past year. Gee, what could I have done with that money?
I could have gotten 4 GB of additional RAM for my computer. That’s a lot of extra memory, folks.
MORE USB! I love USB devices, including regular old USB flash drives. A Geek can never have enough. With my savings, I could have purchased 24 of these little 2 GB USB 2.0 flash drives.
I love to watch movies, and I love to store media on a physical disc for safe-keeping. What better way to do that than with the 105 dual-layer DVD +R discs I could have bought?
My iPhone doesn’t have enough Apps, that’s all there is to it. You may think I have more than enough, but I could have 138 more of them right about now had I saved money on my ink!
My backyard is a mess. It needs some more work done to it, including about 342 pounds of river pebbles. I could have gotten those with my savings, had I been using the Kodak printer!
I bet if I try hard, I could find 489 friends in my address book that I could have sent postcards to. With the money I would have saved, I could have purchased the stamps for all of those postcards. That’s nearly 500 of them!
I lose my ink pens all the time. It never fails. I’ll go to grab a pen, and there’s just none to be found. Had I saved all this money by using the Kodak printer, I’d have a stockpile of 762 black ink pens lying around.
Om nom nom A&W Root Beer Barrels. Those little hard candies are addictive and delicious. I’d have 2025 of them sitting here right now if I had saved money. Of course, I would likely need to get some exercise after eating them all.
You know those little wooden toothpicks that are mint-flavored? They come individually wrapped so that they stay minty fresh. I can’t get enough of those. They are just… cool. I could have 50,528 of them right now. WHY am I not saving money on ink?
Lastly, I could have purchased additional storage space for 348,996 pictures online. That is one heck of a lot of photos that I could be sharing with the World.
What would you get with your savings?
By using a Kodak printer instead of the one that’s sitting behind me right now, I could have any number of really cool things. Rethink your ink!.

So, did you actually purchase this printer (which one, btw?), use it, and calculate if you do get what they say? Have you compared their ink cost to your previous printer? Is the print quality any good?
The whole article takes for granted that Kodak’s claims are true- and there’s nothing here to substantiate it.
