Printer ink never lasts as long as you'd like. When you're printing something that you'll use as a reference, print in Draft mode. Changing the print quality to Draft will make your documents print faster and use less ink. Here's how to set a Windows printer to use Draft mode by default. Change the settings again when you want to print something at a higher quality, like a proposal or photos.
