Ink is Expensive...NOT!

Now that you are becoming a couponer, you are probably using your printer a lot more. Some may even debate if the cost of ink is worth the coupon to print with it. Well for one set your default printer settings to fast draft and grayscale. That will help reduce the ink used. Also I buy ink from amazon. I have a Canon photo printer. The ink is $15 a cartridge. This I thought was cheap compared to our old printer's ink. Well now I will not pay that much for all 5 inks! I pay around $4.50 for all of my ink cartridges...yes $0.90 per cartridge!! This is what I buy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046XIKZ4/ref=ox_ya_os_product I have never had a problem using this ink. I haven't tried printing photos with this ink. You can always just save your name brand ink cartridges for your photos, but it wouldn't hurt to print a test photo to see how you like the results. Try doing an amzon search for the ink you use, and you would be surprised how much cheaper the compatible off brand ink cartridges are! I'll never go back to spending $80 when I can spend $4.50 for the same thing!!
