@Craig – Good points… going paperless is intriguing. I keep seeing those newer document scanning systems but I’m scared after obtaining years of a particular file format newer technology will create compatibility issues. I’m torn but I am still a fan of physical documents for all the really important stuff.

@LittleHouse – my pleasure….

@Bonnie – I see the same thing at work. People print out an entire chain of email when they only need one line.

@Finallygetttingtoeven – Certainly can’t imagine the local print shop can do it cheaper. I hope you are successful.

@Money Reasons – Great point, company a could print 10 lines on a page while company b could print a ink sucking picture. hmmmmmm something to look in to!

@JoePlemon – Draft mode and duplex (2sided) printing are now the default on our printer too. I think the only way to beat them is to avoid printing!

@Everyday Tips – For the cost of some inks it just might be worth replacing what you have. Thanks for the laser suggestion, something to keep in mind.

@Roshawn – Who knows… maybe after your next trip to the office supply store you will reconsider?

@Squirrelers – You’ve got the best answer!

I have a newer printer, purchased about a year ago, but have to say that my strategy to reduce printing costs is to print very little. Sounds very simple, but it works!

I do not own a Kodak printer although I first became aware of their "cheaper" ink by watching Celebrity Apprentice. The show dedicated a whole episode to branding their ink. It was pretty convincing, just not convincing enough for me to buy another printer. .-= Roshawn @ Watson Inc´s last blog ..Yakezie Round Up and Uncommon Money News (Vol. 95) =-.
