Lu Spriggs September 2002 Web Sites

http://InkSaver.com/ This program lets you control the amount of ink used for your printing jobs. Therefore the ink cartridges may last up to twice as long. Separate controls are provided for Black and Color printing. It is presently compatible only with selected models of Epson, Hewlett Packard and Cannon Printers. It is not compatible with my new Epson C80 printer. They are aware of the problem, but do not have a fix available. CAUTION!! If you are interested in this program, be sure to download the 30-day trial version before purchasing it. List price is about $35.00. I ordered a copy from http://www.buy.com for $28.00, no tax or shipping charges, and received the program next day (no fooling, that is the truth!). Surprise, http://www.yourresponse.at/strydent-survey1 this address was sent to me by Strydent, makers of InkSaver. It is a short survey about InkSaver. If you complete the survey, you wll be eligible to win a year's worth of inkjet cartridges, based on an industry avarage consumption of four cartdidges per year. I should be so lucky!!
