Setting your Quality to "Draft" in Printer Preferences will make your ink cartridges last much longer. In some printers, you won't even notice a marked change in quality. But, the difference in cost of ink will be dramatic!

I've done this for years!! Prints out much faster.

I'll set it on 'normal' when I need the print for something good.

I found that after a while when the 'draft' is looking bad I'll set it on the 'normal', as the cartridge is starting to run low, and then I'll put it on 'best' until the finally just runs all the way out.
