Save money on your printing
We all dread that moment when the low toner light starts flashing on our computer printer. We ignore it for a while and push on to see how many more pages we can squeeze out. Then there’s the half blank page lying sadly on the printer tray and we know this means an emergency trip to the computer store for a replacement printer toner cartridge. We’ve got to meet our deadline and that’s going to make a dent in our pocket.
At the store, standing in front of a wall of genuine branded and other compatible printer toner cartridges, we never know how we’re going to find the right one to fit our printer model – at the right price – that is going to last the longest by printing the most pages.
Buying replacement printer toner cartridges can be daunting and overwhelming. It’s no wonder we put it off until we are desperate and then pay whatever we have to, just to fix the problem and meet our deadline.
To help you make the situation less overwhelming, here are three simple ways you can save money on your next printer toner cartridge purchase:
1. Buy online
There are oodles of retail websites where you can research your printer cartridge needs and make an informed purchase from the comfort of your home. The best part is that these online stores offer regular discounts, as they have less overheads, so you should be able to get a good deal.
2. Free delivery
Now that you’re comfortable with purchasing your printer toner cartridges online, take advantage of the free delivery offers available. Online stores may offer deals on shipping when you spend a certain amount of money so purchase a few printer toner cartridges at a time to take advantage of this and to ensure your ink won’t run dry next time!
3. Print in draft
While there is a push to go paperless, it’s not always possible to avoid printing, especially when preparing graphics or presentations. To prolong the life of your cartridge, print rough copies in grayscale or draft mode. There are even certain fonts that use less ink when printing.
