Use printers economically and efficiently

To save costs when using a printer, choosing the right paper is very important. Paper for printers must have a weight of 70g/m2 or more. If you use paper that is too thin, it is very easy for paper jams to occur.

With inkjet printers, the paper needs to have enough ink absorption and not be damp to avoid ink spreading. Specialized paper for inkjet printers is also coated with an inorganic substance so that the print has beautiful, durable, and smudge-proof colors. Do not leave the inkjet printer idle for a long time because the ink head will dry out, the printer must automatically clean the ink head by spraying ink and wiping it on a cloth.

So, even if the printer is not running, it still consumes ink. If you use a color inkjet printer but often only print in black and white, you should turn off the color printing mode, which will help save ink and increase printing speed.

To set up the printing function, there are parameter options that help save ink.

If you don't need a high-quality print, which will waste ink, then in the Print Quality section, reduce the Resolution to a low level. Or in the Halftoning section, uncheck the Smooth option; increase the brightness of the image, so it won't waste ink.

Usually, in the configuration of printers, there is a Toner Saver function - automatically running the saving mode, the Toner Density function allows increasing - decreasing the amount of ink. Some machines have buttons right on the body of the machine instead of having to set up on the computer, which can be Toner Save or Economic buttons. In addition, you should set the machine to draft printing mode and high-quality printing to suit the purpose of each print.
