Yesterday, I wanted to make a copy of chart. Since it was in color and I wanted the copy in color I headed for our underused color inkjet printer/copier combo. So how long do you think it took me to do that? 1 minute? 5 minutes? How about 1 hour.
Why? Well let’s see, the nozzles were clogged so I had to clean them not once not twice but so many times I’d lost count. Cleaning is a big ink sucker, I can imagine we ‘lost’ a good amount of ink there which of course costs $$. After umpteenth cleaning attempts the quality was still awfully poor and I’d already spent that time. I gave up.
By now, I’d spent time (don’t say your time doesn’t cost money, it does), sheets and sheets of paper and tons of ink and a LOT of frustration. The result a terrible print. Then I caught myself thinking how I wish my laser printer could make copies.
We bought a laser printer for our home office in 2003 years ago and I’ve only ever replaced the cartridge once. A cartridge costs $80 for my model. So, $80 over 2 years… talk about that for economy. So, if you’re looking to cut some costs in your business. Try dumping your inkjet.
