Warpwiz dose have a good point, I my self use PDF or XPS for most things vs printing them off, but there will always be a need to print.

I my self used to be a sales rep for one of the printer companies (Lexmark… yea I know)
If your looking to save money on ink refilling will go a long way but don’t bother trying to fill any of the HP or Lexmark cartridges. The print heads on both brands are not as good as the ones you will find on Epson or Cannon… you can get maybe 2 refills out of them.

I my self would buy a Cannon. Unlike the Epson you won’t, as last I checked, need a chip re-setter and you can also buy replacement print heads.

One of the ways to save on printing is don’t! A lot of prints are just to capture information for future use. Some are to verify formatting against the shape and position on a page.

Using a .pdf converter can do both of these. Yes, you still view them on the screen, but in the context that the print has gone through what it thinks is a print driver and usually any changes in positioning or sizing will take place then.

Ink invested = 0 – what’s to lose?

Chris – The best way to print is to use FinePrint (www.fineprint.com), It is a graphical printer driver. You print to it, and it shows you the output on the screen. You can combine pages, resize anything, put 2, 4 or even 8 pages per sheet, remove graphics to save ink, resize margins, etc. You can make it look exactly how you want it to look before you send it to an actual printer. Turns even the cheapest printer into a high-end output device, and saves you from wasting printouts trying to get the look you want.

I found this program a couple of years back and I wonder how I managed for so long without it. Costs about $50, but well worth every penny.

I disagree about refilling your ink cartridges, for home use I buy a quart of black ink at a time, it so far has lasted me over 2 years and is very cheap. I keep it wrapped in a gallon ziplock in the fridge. I am happy with the results.

For black ink only printing I use a cheap Lexmark from Walmart. Lexmark makes it easy for you to refill your own cartridges.

I bought two printers in 1984 and have been using printers ever since. Over the years I find this method works best for my home use and budget.
