Stretch The Limits of Your Cartridges
Saving yourself from the recurring expense of purchasing print cartridges can't be solve unless you stop using your equipment, you can't just put a pause on the expenses that comes from maintaining a printer. Although you can at least diminish the cost but not totally wipe it off, there are such ways on which you can often do with your printer and laser toner cartridges or ink cartridges to stretch their limits. By using these approach you'll notice a significant decrease from your printers recurring expenses. 

Learn your printer, the settings, modes, features, and ways from which you can lessen the amount of toner or ink it consumes whenever you're printing. A lot of printer model nowadays has this mode called economical printing, saving you're ink/toner from too much consumption. Explore the settings, you can set your printers ink intensity to low, especially if you're just doing personal printouts and not that too important documents.

Printers sensors are often accurate, but it sure stop your printer from working once it detected a low level of ink/toner. It's actually a great feature that notifies the user to replace the cartridges, but somehow you're wasting about 20% of ink/toner if you do that. How can i say so? Printer cartridges had as much as 20% remaining ink/toner inside the cartridge and users are not totally aware of this. Thus tech wise geek came up with a solution to hack or rather bypass the sensors, but let me remind you that you can only do this at your own risk.

Clogging, is a very common issue that users can easily handle. Clogged print cartridges results your printer to stop from working, which brings the thought of low level ink and users tend to replace the cartridges without even checking if it's really empty. This problem occurs whenever the printer wasn't used regularly or for a very long time. If you encounter this problem, cleaning your cartridges is so easy, just use put some alcohol in a damp cloth and draw it across the printhead, be careful with this as you may transfer ink from one another. 

Sometimes, a simple trick will do, just shake your printer cartridge and let the ink/toner settle in place, but this wouldn't work all the time. You should also know that shaking it doesn't mean you'll get another full cartridge, you're just extending its life, so you still need to purchase a replacement.
