Colour and cost
Printing in colour costs more than printing in black ink only. To reduce
the cost of colour printing, follow these guidelines:
• When printing monochrome images, install the Black BJ Cartridge
BC-10.
• When printing spreadsheet-type graphs, choose coloured hatch
patterns instead of solid colours. Hatch patterns typically use less ink
and look just as good as solid colours.
• Use lighter colours that use more white space; for example, pink
instead of red. Although white is a colour, the printer does not
produce white ink; it uses the colour of the paper as white.
• Avoid using full-colour backgrounds. For colour presentations that
do contain a full-colour background, print the background for the
final output only, not for drafts.
• Some software applications allow you to print several pages of data
on one page in condensed size. If available, use this mode for printing
multiple pages quickly at a lower cost.
