HP Printer Ink Cartridges For All Your Printing Needs

HP Printer Ink Cartridges aren’t cheap so it’s important to get as much use out of each cartridge that you can. Here are so great suggestions to do so.

The biggest way to save on ink is to print in draft mode. You can set this as the default print method by going into the Printer section in your control panel and adjusting it there. That way, everything you print will automatically be in draft mode. Most printing people do on a day to day basis can be done in draft mode. While you’re at it, set the print to black and white. You’ll get 3 to 5 times the amount of use from an ink cartridge by doing this. On the rare occasions that you need better quality, just adjust it for that one print.

Unused, sealed HP printer ink cartridges can last up to 2 years when properly stored. If you find a good deal, stock up. Storage should be in an area not too hot or cold. Store the boxes upright and leave the cartridges sealed up. The packaging reduces the exposure and helps keep the ink fresh.

If you do not use your printer for long periods of time the ink jets can become clogged due to the ink drying out. When this happens you can try to clean them, but if that fails, you’ve just wasted whatever ink was left. The solution is to use your printer at least once a week whether you need to or not.

Some printers have a way of sealing the cartridges when the power is off. This will again help to extend the life of your HP Printer Ink Cartridges. So only power up the printer when you actually need to print.
