An Eco-Friendly Way to Print

There are ways to print in an eco-friendly way, both at home and in the office. Printer ink cartridges find their way into landfills each year creating a lot of extra waste. Did you know that these cartridges take anywhere from 450 to 1000 years to decompose? There is a much better way to fulfill your print needs in an Earth-friendly fashion.

Printer ink cartridges can be refilled up to 15 times before they are no longer useful and purchasing them can save you up to 80% over new cartridges. Not only is this eco-friendly, it’s wallet-friendly as well.

Remanufactured / compatible printer ink cartridges are rebuilt with mostly new parts after they have gone through their initial cycle of use. Up to 75% of the internal components, including the fresh ink, are new while the outer shell is reused. Purchasing and using these cartridges save you money. Some people worry about the print quality of the image but because of the new components inside, the quality is comparable to a brand cartridge. You’ll notice sharp quality when it comes to text printing but may notice a small, though generally negligible, difference in image quality.

Inkbarn offers these additional ways to save money while printing:

Print in draft mode

Printers are designed to use a lot of ink when printing. However, if you go into your printers preferences, you’ll see that you can set the print quality to draft mode. The amount of ink is reduced so the print is a little weaker. If you want to print something for a presentation or to keep for some purpose, you should switch to standard mode but when used, the draft mode setting will save you a considerable amount of ink.

Avoid Large and Bold Fonts

Large fonts and bold type consume more ink. Use fonts such as Arial or Courier New that generally help conserve ink. You can also download other fonts that are more eco-friendly.

Proofread Before You Print

The number one problem after printing is that errors or omissions are found. Proofread every document to be sure it is exactly how you want it before printing. This will save you time, paper and ink!
