How to Save Money on Printing

We understand the importance of conserving ink (and saving money) without compromising on style and personalization. Our tool offers a variety of low-ink design options that are both elegant and ink-efficient. Here are some tips to create a stunning binder cover while keeping ink usage to a minimum:

  • Opt for Minimalist Designs: Choose designs with more white space and less color coverage. Minimalist designs are not only trendy but also ink-friendly.
  • Select Lighter Colors: Lighter shades require less ink compared to darker colors. You can opt for pastel backgrounds or light-colored themes for your cover.
  • Use Line Art and Simple Graphics: Designs that incorporate line art or simple black and white graphics can significantly reduce ink usage. See our our black and white designs.
  • Print in Draft Mode: When printing your custom binder cover, select the ‘draft’ print mode on your printer settings. This mode uses less ink and is perfectly suited for prints that don’t require high resolution.
  • Adjust Your Printer Settings: Many printers offer settings that are optimized for saving ink. Explore options such as “ink saver” or “economy mode” in your printer’s settings before printing.
