Cheap Printing Tips

Opt for Ink Bottles

Ink tank printers use bottles yielding up to 14,000 pages, reducing costs to ~0.3¢/page.

Choose Toner for Text

Laser printers with toner are ideal for high-volume text, with costs as low as 1¢/page.

Use Draft Mode

Draft mode cuts ink/toner use by up to 30%, perfect for non-critical documents.

Print Double-Sided

Duplex printing halves paper costs, saving money and reducing waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between ink cartridges, bottles, and toner?

Ink cartridges (200–2,000 pages) are for standard inkjets. Ink bottles (6,000–14,000 pages) refill tank printers. Toner (2,000–50,000 pages) is for laser printers. Bottles and toner offer lower costs per page.

How do I calculate printing cost per page?

Divide consumable cost by page yield, add paper cost. Our calculator adjusts for cartridges, bottles, or toner.

How can I save money on printing?
