Apparently my local council is saving £10K a month after installing ink saving software called Preton! :T Had a trawl round the net to see if there was anything suited to home use, bearing in mind I already limit my printing and use draft wherever possible.

I have never tried any of these, but would be interested to hear from anyone who has used them or any thoughts, positive or negative. :confused:
