Some of us have printer/fax machines that are costly. I know that after purchasing my Canon printer, I began to regret it because I felt that I couldn't afford it. I would like to share the following information for anyone that has a Canon or other type of printer that specifically requires ink tanks, this information might be helpful.
I was getting very disappointed and frustrated when I noticed that my printer/fax machine was using too much ink, and if the ink tank would run low, I would have to replace it to receive a good copy. In order to save on the costs, I then decided to do the following:
One might want to then ask themselves if they actually need to have an actual copy of a document, versus saving it to your computer. If you don't want the advertisements on a web page, use the "block" feature on your keyboard and copy/past the information and create a new document (i.e., use Microsoft Word). I have saved money, time, and gas by not purchasing extra ink tanks. I now enjoy having my printer/fax machine because I can afford it.

Tips and advice for saving money on ink cartridges for your printer. Post your ideas.
Local Costco no longer carries Ims-Ink refill kits. Last one I bought cost $20. The 240ml is 3 bottles of Black @ 80ml/bottle. I refill a Brother MFC3420C and have never had any difficulty with refills. I previously have refilled Epson and Lexmark ink-jets.
This Bother is my favorite. I use the copy and scanner frequently. Refill is the only way to go. It saves you a fortune.
Does your computer printer use a lot of ink? Mine does, even when I go in and change the printer to fast draft before printing and gray scale only.
Switch your printer font to Century Gothic. It uses less ink than other fonts.
