Canon A30 Toner Cartridge - How to Efficiently Manage Office-Printing Expenses?

What makes the Canon copiers PC 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 rise above other printers of the same category? It's peripheral - the A30 replacement toner cartridge is makes it top of the line. The tandem of the printer and cartridge delivers unmatched potency and print consistency to provide the perfect solution to the demands of modern homes and offices. However, perfect partnership do not come cheap as users gripe about because an OEM Canon A30 replacement toner cartridge is priced too restrictive that buying a replacement becomes an ordeal.

Just how do we manage printing expenses without sacrificing print quality expected from a Canon printer and A30 cartridge combo? Below are a few tips that could help streamline office or home printing expenditures.

1. Shift cartridge preference, from the expensive OEM Canon A30 toner cartridge to an equivalent compatible toner cartridge.

This change alone could spell the difference. OEMs fetch a $125 price tag while an A30 Canon compatible cartridge will only cost $50. But never underestimate the quality of the compatible cartridge (and thanks to the advances made in printer technology) since the manufacturing process for both consumable types follows the same lineage. Thus, users can expect the same degree of print quality and yield in printed pages.

Homes and offices with a daily printing volume of around 200 documents will actually need 8 replacement cartridges per month. The yield coverage for the Canon A30 cartridge is only 3,000 pages based on a 5% page coverage (too low since the average is 30% to 35% coverage per printed page). At $125 for the OEM, total expenditure for the month is a whooping thousand dollars while the equivalent compatible toner cartridge would only cost the user $400 per month.

2. Adjust toner density setting when necessary because the Canon A30 toner cartridge is designed to respond when accessed through the printer control panel. So when printing inter-office memo or documents not intended for clients, setting can be switched to the economy mode to cut on toner consumption and extend further the rated capacity of the cartridge.

3. Reduce the printing frequency and print on documents that are necessary. Office personnel have the habit of getting a hard copy of documents even when it's not necessary. Print only documents that can directly affect office or personnel efficiency.

The strict observance of the tips presented could already minimize Canon A30 toner cartridge and media consumption, aside from a significant drop in energy use; factors that affect office finances.

Remember that the best gauge in managing home or office printing expenditures when print quality is not sacrificed in favor of machine efficiency.
