Money Saving Tip: Save Money on Printer Ink

Change your setting on your printer so it prints FastDraft and black&white by default. For most of the printing i do, FastDraft is plenty good enough and saves A LOT of ink. Also, unless you tell your printer otherwise, it's probably always using your color ink, even if it's printing black; it just mixes up all of the colors to make black!

Here's how to change those setting:

Start | Control Panel | Printers and Faxes | Right click on your printer and choose Properties | General tab | Printing Preferences | Paper/Quality tab: Choose FastDraft under Print quality | Color tab: Check Print in grayscale - Black print catridge only under Color options

thats it! enjoy!
