Tip #1:
Implement
these six essentials!
1.
Buy non-OEM black ink cartridges instead of OEM
above!
Example: HP45's for less than $5.00. Black
remanufactured cartridges are normally good for
photo printing. Avoid remanufactured color
cartridges if you print photos because the
colors may vary slightly. Remanufactured color
cartridges are normally okay for teacher/office
use. Trying to refill your own cartridges has
the risk of a messy disaster and the extra labor
eliminates the savings.
2.
Change your default printing preferences on all
school computers to draft or fast draft which
prints faster. Draft mode normally works
great for school use. Users can always
change their preferences for individual prints
from File and Print and Preferences when they
want a better print quality. You can
change the default settings to draft for all
jobs in Control Panel (not from printer
preferences in your browser or publishing
program). This will save you a ton of ink!
3.
Spend a little more for paper with a higher
brightness number (i.e. 92-100), because paper
is less expensive than ink! An extra
dollar for a ream of paper makes draft printing
look like normal printing and will save you
several dollars of ink!
4.
Try making most school documents available from
your website, and let users consume their own
ink. Many e-mail programs now let
you create newsletter-looking messages that you
send out via e-mail.
5.
Consider an older "workhorse" printer
for volume users like the secretary. Older HP's
that use black 45's or 15's will keep cost per
copy under 1 penny. (i.e. HP 700-722 uses
HP45's) Newer printers do not use larger
capacity cartridges, have more expensive
remanufactured cartridge options until they are
older, and do not hold as many sheets in the
tray.
6.
Most schools are now purchasing multi-function
type printers. This essentially puts a
copier on each desk. This is great for small
copy numbers, but staff should be regularly
reminded to use the school copier for larger
quantities. They should also be reminded to make
black copies instead of color on their classroom
printer.
