How to conserve?

Never thought of shaking the cartridge when my color cartridge ran out yesterday. Thanks for the tip! My HP printer is older and I print from 2 laptops and a tablet with no problems. If you don't print that often, I would go wireless and just use one printer.

I have bought ink cartridges from inkjets on line & been super happy with the ink & their service. So glad to be done forking over $50-60 for them in retail stores. I buy 2 at a time,only open one & seldom even think about it any more.

Never print coupons, quilt patterns(unless needed) or those pesky side advertisements in color. Also, get rid of banners that have heavy borders whether black or color. I have saved a lot of ink by only printing what I really need from a page. Also , there are good sources for generic ink. I use gab it and other software to cut what I need from a page, paste in in Word and print just that small "capture".

I finally bought a Brother laser printing and it last forever. When we were searching on Amazon, I read all the previews first about how this printer performs. It got a very high rating and I love it. The only thing I don't like is that the instructions are very poor about operating the machine. It should reduce and enlarge but I can't seem to do it. I have a Canon color printer and the color ink went through so fast, I was always out of color ink. It sits on my counter down in the basement, I might try using it for copying quilt tops I want to make.
