Stretch Your Toner Cartridge Dollars

Printing is a business necessity, however you can save money and get more mileage out of your printer cartridges by employing a few of these toner tips.

Print a test page

Staples toner cartridges

Print a test page or two before printing out large documents to be sure the margins, spacing, text, and graphics render correctly. Fix any mistakes before printing out the full document. If you need multiple copies of the document, print out one and then photocopy the rest.

Buy remanufactured toner cartridges

Remanufactured cartridges cost less than new cartridges because they are disassembled, cleaned, and refilled. Any worn parts are replaced. Plus remanufactured cartridges are fully tested, certified, and backed by our 100% guarantee.

Prevent toner from drying out

If you alternate between using a black ink cartridge and a color cartridge, store the one not in use in a cartridge storage container to prevent it from drying out.

Assess your printer

If your printer is more than five years old, consider upgrading to a newer, more efficient machine. Check out our selection of printers and all–in–ones.

Print forms as needed

Eliminate pre–printed forms. Save all company forms on a network drive. Ask employees to print forms on an as–needed basis, rather than printing several copies that may become outdated in time.

Additionally, many internal memos can be emailed and printed only by those who desire a hardcopy.
