Advantages of DURABrite Inks-Low Cost of Ownership DURABrite Inks offer low cost of ownership with: Excellent output on plain papers-Because you don't have to use specialty papers to obtain the best print quality, DURABrite Inks offer convenience and cost savings. DURABrite Inks also offer the flexibility of printing on matte, glossy, and semi-glossy papers. High-yield, individual ink cartridges-Individual ink cartridges let you replace only the ink that has run dry. If you print large print runs or presentations that use primarily one or two colors, you will see a great cost savings. When comparing printers, remember to consider both the cost and the yield of the ink cartridges-lower cost cartridges with lower yields can be much more expensive to use over the long term.
