Here are some tips to save on you ink cartridges:

1. Only print documents that are in black and white with a black ink cartridge. If you print black with a color ink cartridge, different colors are mixed to create the black ink. This would definitely deplete your color ink cartridge a lot faster than it would deplete a black ink cartridge.

2. Printing rough drafts in draft mode which is the lowest resolution setting will use up your precious ink cartridge much slower than a higher quality setting. When you are already ready to print the final version you can switch back to high quality mode.

3. If you will be needing a copy of a document for archival purposes only (for instance a receipt where you paid a bill online), use the lowest resolution possible.

4. Do not print the entire document if you only really need to print a part of it. If you print half of a document every time, your ink cartridges will last twice as long and if you can skip printing the images your ink cartridges will last even longer!
