The printer saves ink method (on)

For many home and individual users who own PCs, it is true that having a printer for yourself can bring many conveniences and fun, such as creating albums, character T-shirts, and labels, etc., while the reduction in the cost of printing ink jet printers is to promote domestic use. The driving force behind the continued warming of the market. How to print and save ink is the key to reducing printing costs.
The high cost of inkjet printers makes people feel sad that silver is not enough. When using the printer frequently, replacing the original ink cartridges makes it difficult to afford a saddle.
So I strictly abide by the basic principle of provincial ink:
1. Centralized printing. Each time the inkjet printer is started, the printer must clean the print head and initialize the printer. The ink filling system will obviously cause ink waste. In addition, when using a Canon printer, the printer will also clean the print head by holding down the "resume" button (reset) on the printer for more than 2 seconds. Therefore, if the printer runs out of paper, press the "resume" button after loading the paper. It should be faster than 2 seconds.
2. Use the economic model. The new ink jet printer takes into account the fact that the pockets of the common people have increased the "economic printing mode" function, using this mode can save about half of the ink, and can greatly increase the printing speed. The "super economy model" proposed by Canon several years ago made ink-saving capabilities even more outstanding. Some models can save 75% of ink in this mode. However, it is worth mentioning that the print quality is not satisfactory with this model, so it is recommended to use economic mode when printing proofs or just printing drafts.
3. Clean the print head. Most ink-jet printers will automatically clean the print head when it is turned on, and have a button to clean the print head. For example, most inkjet printers at Canon have a fast-cleaning, regular-cleaning, and thorough-cleaning three-step cleaning function.
4. Cleverly use page layout for printing. Today's inkjet printers support page layout for printing documents. Using this method to print, the contents of several pieces of information can be printed on one page. Combining this function with the economy mode when printing proofs can save a lot of ink. However, this feature is not only set up for saving ink. For example, when you want to print the cover of a book, you will also find this feature very useful.
5. Defining your own print method. The economic model saves ink at the expense of lower print quality. The standard model, though satisfactory, is costly. Is it really impossible to have both fish and bear's paw? In fact, most ink jet printer models allow us to select different print densities and self-adjust the print density so as to save ink. In addition, you can also adjust various options according to the type of cartridge and media you are using, and define the print mode yourself. However, for a certain set of settings, the effect will definitely be different for different ink cartridges and papers. You can also make some fine adjustments before printing to achieve the best state. After the test is satisfactory, you can click the Save button, enter a title, such as "common", and you can also enter a brief description of the current custom print mode settings in the description field.
6. Do not replace the ink cartridge immediately. We know that the ink jet printer detects the amount of ink in the ink cartridge through an inductive sensor, and the sensor prompts the replacement of the ink cartridge as long as the sensor detects that one of the ink amounts is less than the value set in the printer. At this time, the ink cartridge can be taken out immediately, and then it can be cleaned by the cleaning key in the control panel, or can be cleaned by the printer's own tool software, and repeated several times, most of the printer can be used normally. Remove the ink cartridge and reset the printer's internal sensor to confirm the installation of a new ink cartridge. Note, however, that it should not be turned off. When the ink cartridges have not been used up, it is best not to remove them in order to avoid unnecessary waste.
Of course, no matter how the province can not ensure that the cartridge for a lifetime. When there are always printer alerts, there are also great ways to save you money:
Teach you two tricks and trick your printer to trick the printer. In fact, the above Article 6 is already deceiving. Also, for EPSON, the ink indication in the ink cartridge is calculated and judged by the paper type set by the printer and the number of printed sheets when the ink cartridge is loaded. About 100 sheets are printed and it is considered that the ink has been exhausted. In fact, the ink cartridge is in this case There may be a lot of ink in the ink. Once, I did a test on my friend’s machine. I installed the first cartridge that was replaced before the second cartridge finished using the third cartridge. As a result, I normally printed about 30 pages and then began to fade. At this time, the ink cartridge must be replaced, but the program thinks that there is still ink in the ink cartridge (because it only counts up to 30 pages). At this time, it is necessary to forcibly replace the ink cartridge. However, normal replacement of the ink cartridge cannot be used at this time, because the program will think that the ink has not run out and cannot automatically move the ink cartridge holder to the replacement ink cartridge position. Therefore, it is necessary to forcibly turn off the power when the ink cartridge holder starts to move slowly from right to left. Use the method of turning off the power or plug on the socket (in violation of the procedure, don't forget to turn off the power button on the printer to return the cartridge to its home position), and then carefully and slowly move the cartridge holder to the replacement cartridge position. , replace the cartridge and move the cartridge holder to the starting position (If you leave it to the left like the normal replacement cartridge, the program will go wrong, and the cartridge carrier will move the pulley and the corresponding motor!), and then just perform a print The nozzle cleaning program can be used normally.
remember! Because the new ink cartridge is from the Xth sheet (the number of sheets recorded by the printer before replacing the ink cartridge), the program will assume that the ink cartridge has run out of ink when the corresponding number of sheets is reached. At this time, just follow the normal operation of replacing the ink cartridge to move the ink cartridge from Take it out of the cartridge holder and put it back (even without removing the cartridge, simply release the clip on the cartridge holder and release it), and check with the program's ink inspection tool. The ink cartridge is full again. (To be continued)
