Other Software Enhancements
❐
If you will be printing text in black ink only, choose Black and White
rather than Grayscale.
❐
Print draft documents in Black and White rather than color, or use high
speed when printing color.
❐
Limit the number of colors on each page; too many colors can make the
image confusing and less effective as well as cause the print speed to
slow down.
❐
Use primary colors when printing presentation graphics: black, cyan,
yellow, magenta, blue, green, and red.
Hardware Upgrades
❐
Increase the amount of memory in your computer.
❐
Upgrade the processor in your computer or add a maths coprocessor.
Color and Cost
Printing in color costs more than printing in black only. To reduce the cost of
color printing, follow these guidelines:
❐
Use black ink when printing drafts, or use a draft color mode.
❐
When printing spreadsheet-type graphs, choose colored hatch patterns
instead of solid colors. Hatch patterns typically use less ink and look just
as good as solid colors.
❐
Use lighter colors that use more white space; for example, use pink
instead of red. Although white is a color, the printer does not produce
white ink; it uses the color of the paper as white.
❐
Avoid using full color backgrounds. For color presentations that do
contain a full color background, print the background for the final output
only, not for drafts.
❐
Use the primary printing colors of the printer: black, cyan, magenta, and
yellow. When printing complex colors like red or blue, the printer uses
more than one primary color.
❐
Some applications allow you to print several pages of data on one page
in a condensed size. If available, use this mode for viewing multiple
pages quickly at a low cost.
