PRINTING SYSTEM - DESIGNED TO SAVE INK & MONEY 

Some printer manufacturers claim that systems with tri-color cartridges waste ink as the whole cartridge needs to be replaced when a particular color runs out whereas in individual cartridge systems, only the ink that has run out needs to be replaced. In fact, efficient ink usage is not about the type of cartridge (individual or tri-color), but rather about the design and performance of the printing system.
