      Saving Money on Inkjet Cartridges

      June 30, 2011 /

      Whether you have a business or just do your printing at home, inkjet cartridges can be very expensive. This is where the printer manufacturers make their money, and you can burn through a lot of money if you do a lot of printing.

      The tips for saving money all involve common sense. The first has to do with your printing habits and your printing policies in the office. When possible, print in black at lower quality as opposed to using color at maximum quality. This alone will save you a ton in inkjet fees.

      Next, you have to shop around. If you just spend some time online, you can find the lowest price for your cartridges, even the brand name cartridges. One problem is that people wait till they run out if ink to get new cartridges. Then you’re in a hurry and it’s easier to just go to the local store and pick one up. If you plan ahead, you’ll save a ton of money and get in the habit of always keeping a supply.

      If you need one right away, look for stores like Cartridge World. They have deep discounts and you can punch in your zip code on their web site to find a store near you.

      Another option includes refilling your ink or purchasing off-brand cartridges. This is a matter o preference based upon quality issues. It’s not a bad option, but you can save on the brand cartridges if you follow the steps above.

      E-Mail Hosting Is Not the Only Thing That Has Changed in E-Mail

      August 11, 2010 /

      Since the dawn of the Internet, electronic mail, or e-mail, has gone through a number of changes. From something that was once only available as an inter-office messaging system, this technology now allows users to check their e-mail from their phone regardless of where they are in the world. Here are some changes that have taken place over the last few decades regarding this technology.

      E-Mail Hosting
      There was a time when most companies that offered e-mail hosting charged for their services. People were paying $9.95 a month and even more just for the luxury of having an e-mail address. Today, however, paying for a basic e-mail service is almost unheard of. The only time people pay for their e-mail accounts these days is if the host provides more services along with the e-mail. Even then, many companies still offer free addresses.

      Instant Messaging
      Some e-mail providers offer instant messaging services that allow you to chat in real-time with other people who are online. This is faster than e-mail messages because it goes directly to the person’s screen without the individual having to check the messages. The person doesn’t have to open anything up; the message is simply there, waiting for a response. Many e-mail services provide a sound or a visual alert to let you know when a new instant message comes in, too.

      Storage Space
      Before the Internet became such a staple for everyday life, you could only store a certain number of emails in an account with many providers. However, some e-mail providers are now offering unlimited storage of emails regardless of how many you have. You can create folders and organize your emails, too, so they are easier to find when you are searching for something in particular.

      As technology continues to evolve, you can be sure e-mail hosting will, too.
