Controlling Printing Costs
Printing in colour costs more than printing in black. To keep your
colour printing costs down, follow these guidelines:
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 BX-20
Black BJ cartridge.
For graphs and charts, set the fill option to coloured hatch patterns
instead of solid colours. Hatch patterns require less ink.
Use lighter colours that incorporate more white space. For example,
use pink instead of red. The MultiPASS C20 produces light colours
by alternating coloured dots with white (unprinted) dots, and so
uses less ink.
Avoid full-colour backgrounds. If you must use one, do not set the
background for colour until you are ready for final printing.
Some applications allow you to condense several pages of data onto
a single page for draft printing.
