Thanks for all your replies. I will do what I can to reduce color printing, and turn off the ability to print multiple copies on the printers, excepting the copier. I should note that the inkjet printer I am looking at uses ink that costs about 1.25 cents per page for b/w, and 6.5 cents per page for color. (At market pricing for the cartridges and the 5% coverage standard. The black cartridge is rated for 9200 pages -- it's not the same thing as a desktop printer cartridge.)Oh, and I'll show all teachers how to scan to email - then they could share the scanned document rather than print copies for all.steve

(Paper is in another budget.) Ok, we need to reduce printing. But I also want to reduce the price per page. We're using 3rd party toner for all but one of our printers. I could go to self-refill to trim that cost. Anyone doing that?Or I could try inkjet. HP has inkjets with "page-wide" heads that they say are fast, as good as laser, and less expensive per page. Anyone using those?How are you reducing your supplies costs?thanks,steve
