When shopping for a printer, keep in mind some inkjet printers are designed to be used for high-quality printouts (like photos) and others are meant for more mundane tasks, like printing out reports and documents. High-quality printers that print at 1200 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch) may produce great-looking printouts, but they guzzle ink to generate that. If you’re only using a printer for regular office needs, consider a cheaper and more ink-efficient printer that prints at 600 x 300 DPI.

Raw, cold-pressed fresh juices are all the rage these days, but they can also be dangerous to consume if you don’t enjoy them right away. Because these bottled juices are not pasteurized, they can easily become full of dangerous bacteria and yeast. So it’s recommended to never, ever consume these drinks after the expiration date on the bottle. And that date is often a mere two days after it’s been bottled. If the juice is expired, discard it and recycle the bottle.

An inkjet printer is more energy-efficient than a laser printer, which makes it a good choice for a home office. But not all inkjet printers are the same. When shopping, be aware of the inkjet tank configuration. If the printer uses one universal cartridge for all colors, you’ll end up replacing it more often than for printers that use separate cartridges for separate colors. The reason is colors are used at different rates, so if you run out of one color when using a universal single cartridge, you have to replace it. That makes it a waste of resources and money.
