If your business on average prints 200 pages per day, refilling cartridges could bring your costs down from $15,330.00 to $1,277.50 per year. This is based on 21 cents per page, your actual cost per page could me much higher. With this kind of savings, you can afford to screw up a few cartridges while learning. If you spill some ink, you can afford to re-carpet entire house.

A good place to get inkjet refill kits is MIS Associates http://www.inksupply.com. They provide detailed online well-illustrated step-by-step instructions. The same idea applies to laser printer toner cartridges. Can you afford to pay $400.00 every time your HP 1200se toner cartridge runs dry? A good place to get toner refill kits is http://www.tonerrefillkits.com. They also provide detailed online well-illustrated step-by-step instructions. You can refill 1200se cartridge for only $12.95! (after one time $12.95 purchase of tool kit.)

Printers are one of biggest rip-offs in computing today. I don’t know why FTC is not investigating illegal ink cartridge price fixing by printer manufacturers. For now, way to protect yourself is to learn how to refill your own cartridges. ---------------------------------------------------------- Resource Box: Copyright(C)2002 Bucaro TecHelp.

No, You Don’t Have to Get Through Your Material Whenever I hear a presenter say, “Please hold your questions until I get through my material”, that is a major turn-off! Number one, it means that you have too much material (previous point); and secondly, it means that your slide presentation is for you and not your audience. How do you know when a presenter cares about audience? It’s when you hear these words instead, “Does anyone have any questions BEFORE we move on?” I really don’t care if you a presenter gets through all of their material, and it’s certainly not reason why I came to conference.

I’ve Seen That Template Before To make things worse at this conference, I saw same blue PowerPoint template at every other session (you know one I’m talking about!) Could you be anymore unimaginative? If you’re going to do this, take time to learn how to create your own or have an expert do it for you. And try using a background color other than dark blue, it really is played out.

Oh No! Not Times New Roman! If it were up to me, Times New Roman font type would be outlawed in all slide presentations, websites, and anything that’s displayed on a screen. Nothing spells MEDIOCRE more than seeing Times New Roman. It’s boring. It’s old. It’s time to move on! Take time to choose something more appealing.

I realize that this may hurt your pride a little bit; but just remember that it’s not about you, it’s about your audience. Just remember, “People don’t care much you know until they know how much you care”.
