Optimize Printing Supplies

To optimize printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:

Recycle used original HP ink cartridges through HP Planet Partners. For more information, visit www.hp.com/recycle.

Optimize paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper.

Change the print quality in the printer driver to a draft setting. The draft setting uses less ink.

Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. Doing so wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.
