7 Ways To Save On Your InkJet Printing Costs
by: Mark Idzik
Inkjet printers are not only getting better, they're also getting less expensive. Why is that?
The inkjet printer manufacturers have built their business around the supplies rather than the printer itself. They make the printers as inexpensive as possible, sometimes selling them at cost, or less and making long term profits from the inkjet cartridges.
Manufacturers regularly warn about using generic cartridges, and highly recommend their own. Truth be told, there is very little difference between the two and you can regularly save over half of your current manufacturer branded cartridge purchases.
To help keep your inkjet supply costs low, here are seven tips that will keep you under budget:
1. When printing inter-office, internal, personal or draft documents, use the "draft" and "grayscale" options in your printer settings. This will save on both black ink was well as color ink. Save color and standard black for your final document print.
2. Select inkjet printers that use separate black and color inkjet cartridges like the Canon "i" series. Many of these printers have 2 black and 4 color cartridges that allow you to replace only the colors that are running low, not just the one 'color' cartridge as many printers often do. This saves on long term cartridge costs and lengthens the time between cartridge replacements.
3. Purchase "generic" cartridges made for your printer. These are of similar quality to the manufacturer's brand, and often at less than half the price.
4. Purchase "remanufactured" cartridges compatible with your printer. These are cartridges collected from the original owner, cleaned and re-filled with the same ink.
5. Purchase a cartridge "refill kit". You'll receive a kit that will allow you to refill the ink in your cartridge rather than a new cartridge. This is a great way to recycle and the quality is high and costs low.
6. Purchase your cartridges in bulk to save on shipping costs and discounts are sometimes available on larger single purchases.
7. Order your cartridges online to save time and money. Many local stores don't carry the generic versions and costs are normally substantially lower online.
Using any combination of the tips above will save you both time and money and help you manage your inkjet printing supply needs easily.

Lingerie Makes Great Gift for Him and Her
Lingerie Makes Great Gift for Him and Her
by: Jim Jin
It is clich? to say that lingerie is the gift that ?gives to him and her?, or is ?the gift that gives back? because clearly the man does not lose when he gives lingerie out as a present.
The only time the plan backfires is when he gets something in the wrong style?or much worse?the wrong size.
But when the man puts some time and consideration into the purchase of some lingerie, he and the receiver are rewarded which is why it makes a great gift.
Too often men find themselves tempted to buy whatever they happen to find attractive or sexy.
These same men are then surprised later on when their girlfriend or wife is utterly repulsed by the lingerie and refuses to wear the garment.
It takes a special kind of woman to tolerate a thong but men continue to thrust their desires into lingerie purchasing decisions that utterly conflict with the desires and tastes...

Art Myths Debunked
Art Myths Debunked
by: Corinne Cain
Assumption: Art becomes more valuable once an artist dies.
Actuality: Prices escalate only when demand is greater than supply.
Prices can increase if there was a shortage of the artist's work prior to his or her death and if the demand continues to be significantly greater than supply.
Art News (November 2003) presented an article on the ten most wanted artworks.
These would sell individually for more than $5 Million IF the present owners would let me them go.
However, as the collectors know they could not acquire a replacement painting/sculpture/drawing, they won't be selling these artworks.
Assumption: An artist's proof is more valuable than a print from the regular edition.
Actuality: Artist's proofs are routinely consistent with the regular edition in appearance and value.

Color Cues to help you Find Mr. Right
by: Alan Stafford
Color preferences say a lot about a person's personality and - perhaps more importantly to some of us - about a person's love style. Bright color preferences reflect outgoing characteristics, while darker colors reflect more subdued and calm qualities. Secondary colors, including purple, orange and green reveal a person's desires, goals and needs in a relationship. Color experts, such as light scientist Jacob Liberman O.D., PhD, and color therapy expert Louanna Wilson of SciArt Company, agree that these colors also tell us something about how different types of personalities attract men and women.
To figure out your color type, start by choosing your favorite color of these three. Even if you don't like any of these, pick the one you like best for the sake of this analysis. Pick the color, green, purple or orange, that most appeals to you. Do not choose the color you prefer for clothing...
