Thane,
Quite correct.Not truly quantifiable, but if you normally use 1200dpi,
reducing the resolution to 600dpi equates to a 50% savings per image/page.
Reducing resolution to 300fpi equates to a 75% savings per image/page.
But, I do not know how to compute these savings into dollars and/or
cartridge life. In our modern world this may be a good trail/error user
test with their printer. I have never done this-I still run default
resolution;
and, grumble about cartridge replacement costs.
I spent too many years at Xerox reading memos and such printed on our
laser printers stuck at 300dpi and never had trouble
reading the printed traffic. Yes, some fonts printed worse than others.
Pictures/pix could be pretty bad(lack of fine detail), butacceptable
for normal business.
I do not use reman cartridges. I buy new.
I do not refill used cartridges.
Hope this helps,
Duncan

I've heard recently that decreasing the DPI on a laser printer will
save toner. Thinking about it, I can't see how the savings would be
that great, if any. Does anyone know if this is true?
