How to Save on Printing Costs

When purchasing a printer, most people search for a quality option at the lowest possible price. To ensure your printer purchase is cost-effective, you must not only consider the upfront expenses, but also factor in ongoing costs like replacement ink and toner cartridges. Many people overlook toner and ink cartridge costs, when budgeting for their printing activities. Here are three great ways you can minimise your ongoing printing costs.

How can I minimise printing costs in general?

Colour settings, prioritised printing and even font choice can all increase the longevity of your printer cartridges, which in turn lowers your printing expenses. However, when the time comes to replace your cartridges, there are a couple of ways you can make your dollar go further.

Compatible or generic cartridges

Replacing printer cartridges with genuine or original manufacturer made/brand name cartridges can sometimes prove to be quite costly. Using high quality compatible or generic printer cartridges is a great way to reduce your ongoing printing costs, while still ensuring your printer will achieve the desired result.
Finding good quality generic toner and compatible ink cartridges can be a tricky exercise without assistance, as there are many different cartridges and suppliers to choose from. While most generic cartridges will not cause any long term damage to your printer, there can in some cases be issues with fading and colour accuracy. It is best to seek advice from printing professionals like the team at Tonerink.

It’s always a good idea to shop around and compare printer cartridge prices at different stores and on different websites. If you manage to find the cartridges you require at a particular store you can buy in bulk and that way you can take advantage of the lower prices and it is a more cost-effective investment long-term.
