Color jet printer use cost is high, consumables are expensive, a set of original cartridges cheap also to 100 ~ 200 yuan, a better offer of 400 ~ 500 yuan, print an A4 format boundless photo will cost 10 yuan, so the consumption of ink is the problem we have to face, how to save ink, so as to reduce printing costs? Here are some tips for saving ink. 1, choose the right printing mode color jet printer has standard, economic, text, text and images, photos and high-quality photos and other printing modes, because the amount of ink consumption and print quality and resolution is proportional to the higher the print quality and resolution, the more ink you need, you have to define your own printing mode to achieve the purpose of saving ink. For printers with "concentration adjustment", you can adjust the printing concentration to save black ink, the draft is adjusted to 30%, the general document is adjusted to 50%, for normal printed documents such as 85%, then the clarity can fully meet the needs, only very important documents use 100% concentration. For printers without "concentration adjustment", choose "high-speed" or "economic" printing to save ink for unimportant documents, try to use low-resolution printing under the premise of meeting the quality, and do not use high-resolution or photo printing mode for those with low quality requirements, which can save ink and shorten the printing time; Economic mode, draft or "text" printing accuracy is the lowest, is the most ink saving printing mode, long-term use of this type of mode printing, the service life of the cartridge can be greatly, the principle is to reduce the print quality to achieve ink saving, at this time the text output ink is very light, the use of interline printing, the font is composed of a horizontal line, For general text recommended to use this mode of printing, which can save 30% ink, but to print graphics or want to print good results, should choose image or standard printing mode, at this time to consume more ink; In addition, before the formal printing, we must first select the pre-printing method to check the effect, the effect is not satisfied with the change of the printing mode, preview satisfied before printing, which can ensure the printing effect, but also save paper and ink; Before printing, according to the content of the file, such as plain text, pure pictures, or text pictures mixed, etc., reasonable set of print properties, so that you can save ink and speed up, such as the color requirements are not high select "text" print quality mode, reduce print quality to achieve ink saving, the operation method is as follows: Click "Start"/Settings/Printer and Fax, right click the printer icon, select "Print Preferences" from the pop-up menu, the main window of printer preferences will pop up, which will vary according to the printer model. In this example, the quality types include Draft, Text, Text&Image, Photo recruitment and other modes. Select "Text text" (Figure 3). In the future, when printing, click "advanced" in the pop-up window, a dialog box appears, click "Continue" to pop up another dialog box, select "black ink only" in the "print options", so that color ink will not be used when printing, so as to achieve the purpose of ink saving. 2, change sporadic printing to batch printing inkjet printer the most taboo every few minutes to print once, it is recommended to batch print, to print things together. Because inkjet printers print once, each time the printer starts, the printer has to clean the print head and initialize the printer, and the ink delivery system is filled once, which will waste ink. It is recommended to prepare all the data to be printed before printing, and then print it all at once, so as to reduce the above operations of the printer, save ink and protect the printer. Some friends know that frequent printing cost ink, so do not use inkjet printer to print things for a long time, so that not only can not save money, but also lead to printer failure, increase printer maintenance costs, because inkjet printer is not used for a long time, the ink in the nozzle is easy to attach to the wall to block the nozzle, after use, you need to replace the ink cartridge or nozzle, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the nozzle, It is recommended to use an inkjet printer to print once regularly, so that the printer automatically fills the ink once.
