So how can you determine the cost of ink per page for your new printer? Unfortunately, this information isn't usually readily available when you buy a printer. That's why we've compiled this list of some of the best Ink saving printers of the year!
Some of these printers are new, others may be a bit older, but still purchasable online for a great price. If a printer has "automatic duplexing" as a feature, this means it can do automatic double-sided printing.

I will go with Epson Printer, Epson Workforce WF-2540 - if you have this printer you can get compatible, re-manufactured, recycled inkjet cartridges, bulk ink, CISS of Epson from here, http://www.atlanticinkjet.com/epson-inkjet-cartridges.asp
Another ink-saving tip I like to use is to print in "draft" mode whenever possible. You can find it in the print dialog in "preferences." It makes the copy a little lighter but saves a bunch in ink over the long haul.
Nobody mentioned that ink cartridges dry up without being used at all. I add a cartridge and might not print for a long time. It will actually dry up without ever being used.
Very useful informations for Best Ink Saving Printer.
Waiting for the next.
Thanks
I LIKE MY PRINTER >>>>
