reduce your ink consumption InkSaver allows you to reduce the amount of ink used by inkjet printers. Based on your preference, you can reduce ink usage by up to 75%, while maintaining good quality and high resolution, especially in the 25% area. Unlike the Draft option that comes with your printer settings, InkSaver does not reduce ink usage by printing low resolution, but intelligently reduces the amount of ink use, maintaining high resolution output. Basically the colors will fade a little, the more you increase the ink savings percentage. This is clearly visible at maximum savings mode, but barely noticeable around the 25% area. The program works fully automatically after installation, and all you need to do is adjust the level of ink savings that you want to use. An optional tray icon also provides quick access to change the default level, so you can easily print high quality documents as needed. InkSaver also offers an Ink Savings Estimator that can calculate how much money you will save based on your yearly usage and price you pay for a cartridge.

Trial Limitations: 30 day trial. Some features disabled.

Does the job 5 stars by socrfan (Read all my 2 reviews)
This program does what it is supposed to do, it saves you ink. Most all printouts, even using the lowest settings are very good to excellent. There is no problem using third party ink. It will not harm your printer since the print heads are in the cartridge. Saying it will void the warranty is sales talk to get you to buy their brand of ink. You throw the cartridge out (better yet, recycle) and use a new one. After the initial cost is made up this program will save you money. My only gripe is trying to contact their tech support or customer service. showShow review details
Serious troubles on a shared printer 2 stars by ramune (Read all my 2 reviews)
I installed InkSaver to my main PC to which a shared inkjet printer is connected via USB and a sub PC is also connected via LAN. Once installed, InkSaver works perfectly on the main PC. However, surprisingly, I cannot print out anymore on the sub PC regardless of the ON/OFF status of InkSaver on the main PC. Furthermore, one of the weird things is that even if I uninstalled InkSaver from the main PC, the situation has unchanged; that is, I cannot print out anything to the printer on the sub PC. It seems that InkSaver automatically, without notice to me, modifies the window system--adding new system files and modifying the registry--on the sub PC. Curiously, Software Imaging does not provide helpful information regarding this serious problem. I am expecting that this issue would be resolved in the next version 3.0. showShow review details
Works as it should but not on shared printers 3 stars by geoffhazel
Inksaver does what it says it'll do, but on shared printers, it hoses the remote computer's printer setups so you can't print to the shared printer any more. So if you like this product, only use it on non-shared printers. If you share the printer you want to use ink saver on, InkSaver is NOT RECOMMENDED. showShow review details
