Controlling Printing Costs
Printing in colour costs more than printing in black. To keep your colour printing
costs down, follow these guidelines:
½ Use Draft mode with the BC-21/21e Colour BJ cartridge or the BC-22/22e
Photo Colour BJ cartridge to print drafts. Or use the BC-20 Black BJ
cartridge.
½ For graphs and charts, set the fill option to coloured hatch patterns instead of
solid colours. Hatch patterns require less ink.
½ Use lighter colours that incorporate more white space. For example, use pink
instead of red. The MultiPASS C50 produces light colours by alternating
coloured dots with white (unprinted) dots, and so uses less ink.
½ Avoid full-colour backgrounds. If you must use one, do not set the
background for colour until you are ready for final printing.
½ Some applications allow you to condense several pages of data onto a single
page for draft printing.
