” When it comes to costs, printers are like razors. Just like you end up paying more in razor blades than you do for the razor over the life of a razor, you typically spend more in toner or ink cartridges than you do for your printer over its lifetime.

PretonSaver Home Edition helps you cut the costs of toner and ink, potentially by a significant amount. Run the program, then tell it the toner or ink savings level you want–anywhere from 0% to 70%. After that, just print your pages; you don’t have to do anything else.”

HP is dead serious with its war against compatible  ink cartridges manufactures. Here is the recent news about HP wining (again) its case: Hewlett-Packard settles inkjet cartridge suit

To ink and toner consumers it means that shortly the only cartridges available in the market will be original cartridges. Meaning,  consumers should expect to pay more for ink.

However, consumers can reduce the cost of ink by using ink optimization software like PretonSaver Home.   The software can save up to 70% of the ink consumed for printing. It works with all printers (inkjet, laser) from all manufactures. You can find more information and get a free download at HalfTheInk.com

While you at it, here is a great idea for you: start using PretonSaver Home and reduce  ink consumption by up to 70%. Meaning, you can still use your HP printer and pay 70% less for ink.

PretonSaver Home is a software that is easy to install, works with all printers, and help you save on every print.

What does this mean for the average ink consumer? Sounds like there’s no relief in sight for inflated ink costs. Here’s the key phrase from the story:

“HP said that InkPlusToner.com and Comptree Ink have agreed that to stop selling the cartridges in question and paid an undisclosed sum of money.”

Patents are a powerful thing…

“We’ve picked the five printers, across all categories, with the highest CNET rating from the past calendar year to satisfy your curiosity.”

The list includes two HPs, two Lexmarks and one Epson. Of course, no matter which printer you buy you still have to buy ink and when it comes to ink savings it won’t matter which printer you use as long as you use PretonSaver Home.

PretonSaver from HalfTheInk will help you save ink, which in return will mean you’ll buy fewer ink cartridges and therefore dispose of fewer ink cartridges in landfills. That’s taking care of the planet!

What would really be great is if you could print using original ink at the cost of a bargain ink. Well, you can!

Using original ink has clear advantages over bargain ink — you print more pages per cartridge and you avoid cartridge problems.  However, original ink is twice as expensive (and some time even more) than bargain ink. HP states that using HP original ink you can get up to 65% more pages than with bargain ink.  Unfortunately, you’re not saving much if anything because HP original ink is more than 100% more expensive than bargain ink

But by using PretonSaver Home you can save at least 35% of your ink consumption. If you do the math, you will pay 250% more by simply continuing to buy HP ink versus using original ink with PretonSaver Home. And you do so without using bargain ink!

Doing the math you will find that now you can pay up to 250% (2.5 times) more for  HP original ink and yet the cost per printed page will be lower than the cost per page using bargain ink.

PretonSaver Home – where even original  ink is a bargain.
