Well, fast forward a few years and four kids later, and any scratch paper found in our house is used to draw, make comic books, etc. Just wait until Enna and her siblings are in that stage. :)Corbett Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920438534548292675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-85298753941320922412010-07-18T10:44:11.913-07:002010-07-18T10:44:11.913-07:00and more envirnmentally friendly too- like most fr...and more envirnmentally friendly too- like most frugal living is! :)lacie tidwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754330122733690615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-45775708388409298872010-07-17T13:58:08.793-07:002010-07-17T13:58:08.793-07:00PS: If the "recycled" paper has persona...PS: If the "recycled" paper has personal information on, please be careful what you print on the other side.

Here's some tips:<br />1. Make sure you buy the right ink for your cartridge otherwise you will clog it and it won't work. We buy from Fry's, Sam's, or even sometimes Wal-mart. The bos will list about 70 printers the ink will work for. $15 worth of ink can re-fill your cartride about 6 times. That is major savings!<br />2. Make sure the kit you buy has a syringe, instead of just a needle attached to a bottle of ink. It's important to be able to control the flow, and air bubbles yourself.<br />3. Never let your cartridge get too empty and dry out. Again it can clog them.<br /><br />Other then that, it is really simple to do yourself and we refill ours probably 12 times before replacing them. I do a ton of printing for my calling so it is a big deal to refill them myself. We do color and black and white, it's awesome!Stephanie Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665381306583698029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-63109252840891028312010-07-16T12:38:51.293-07:002010-07-16T12:38:51.293-07:00I never thought about using the waste paper in the...I never thought about using the waste paper in the printer, but I do save it for phone messages, grocery lists, random notes, etc. I do often saved used printer paper and print on the other side.
