Draft Mode: An Ink Saver's Best Friend

Ever feel like you're always running out of ink, even when you’ve just put a fresh cartridge several days before? It may be a problem with the printer or with the way you print.

When you know your printer is the best ink-saving model out there, you may want to recheck how you print. Printing on high quality or large, colored photos, for instance, requires a lot of ink. If you want to make photos for your album, there's a photo studio for that. Otherwise, limit your printing to important documents or small images as much as possible.

Draft mode may go by many names, but the typical printer always has the lowest setting as a choice for draft mode. Draft mode prints the fastest, and is ideal for printing multiple, readable copies of any document at a short time. If you can, print only when you need to; upload documents as electronic files for easy sharing across the World Wide Web.

The benefits of printing in draft mode multiply when you choose an ink-saving printer and practice other ink-saving habits—like printing less. This doesn't imply that you need to spend the rest of your life printing in draft. There are printable materials that can only work in higher settings. Case in point: bar codes. Printing them on draft mode won't make them readable in the scanner.
