Save Money When it comes to ink, don’t just recycle — reduce and reuse — to save on ink and print prices. Any time you use a printer, you don’t only waste money on paper, but even on toner and dye. If you conserve the file, you save on printer supplies and build a more Eco-friendly home office.
Of course, the best way to save the paper is to print less material. Nonetheless, some preparation and rethinking are required to bring this into action. Use the 12 suggestions and waste less on paper and toner.
Get to Know Your Printer:-
Save Money Know how to use your printer and preserve the document more efficiently. Until publishing, click “print preview” to test whether one line would trigger another whole column to run.
Don’t just automatically press OK when the print dialog box comes up. Reduce the range of printing to just the pages you need. You can also highlight only the text you need and choose “print selection.” This is particularly useful when printing from websites because you can remove ads.
If you have difficulty printing, clear your printer queue once you have fixed the problem. That way, your printer won’t spit out the six attempts you made before you found out you were out of paper!
Use the Tablet or the E-Reader:-
If you are printing documents because it is easier or more convenient to read them on the go, consider investing in a tablet or an e-reader. You can use them to read Word documents and PDFs and even make notes on them in many cases.

Take Notes, Screenshots & Bookmark Web Pages:-
Save Money When visiting a webpage, write down details rather than writing a full page for a phone number or URL. You can also copy and paste details into a Word document or other company program. And, if you want to retain this for future reference, just bookmark it.
Proofread Carefully:-
Be sure to test your job before you reach an email. When you spot a typo, press cancel it fast, so you’ve only got one misprinted link. If the entire document is written until you notice the mistake, just reuse the portion with the error if necessary.
Send Electronic Invoices to Clients:-
Save Money. Sending online invoices will save time on postage but don’t print a hard copy for your records either. Download it securely on your machine and be sure to back up the documents. While you’re at it, apply for paperless receipts for your bills to make the workplace as paper-free as possible.
Send Documents Online With Free Online Office Tools:-
Use these free online office tools to send and receive documents via the internet. These can be saved and stored on your hard drive or leave online so that you and your customers or colleagues will make any changes without ever using a piece of paper.
Print on Both Sides of the Paper:-
This could mean setting up a two-sided print job — sometimes named “duplex printing.” This may also imply putting a new paint job on the back of the old paper. Fill the paper tray with old incorrect images. After you’ve done writing, turn the paper over to the wrong side and draw a line through it, so you won’t waste time reading the wrong side in the future.
While you don’t want to use this strategy on something you’d give to customers, it fits well for internal documents.
Reuse Old Paper:-
Reuse paper wherever possible. Not only can you print on the backside, as explained above, but you can use it for a number of other purposes: cut it in half to make scrap paper for lists. Cutting it prevents you from getting mixed up with existing records, but you can also only trace a path through it.
To shape scrap-paper journals, put it together.
Give it to your kids for math homework drawing or scratching paper.
Shred-it’s about making packing materials.
When you use online bill pay, save the return envelopes that arrive with the bills and use them to give money to the kids for lunch or to arrange tiny things.
Change The Borders:-
Use wider borders, smaller fonts, and tighter line spacing to add more of a frame. In the same way, one recommendation for saving printer ink cartridges is to use the “original” standard-setting or grayscale setting while writing.
Use Email More; Print It Less:-
Writing an efficient email is a vital skill for a telecommuter, but a strong email filing system is just as essential. Whether you have saved and backed up on the hard disk or online, emails would never need printing. Set up directories in your email app and organize your messages automatically. You’re not only saving paper; you’re also saving energy.
Put the Fax Machine to Rest:-
Send and receive papers as PDFs rather than faxes. Performance is better and simpler, particularly if you don’t have a second fax line. If you have a second side, you will get rid of the monthly charge.
