Save Colors

They need your help!

Just because your computer is attached to a color printer doesn't mean you need to print in color! To save that expensive ink, convert your file to gray before printing.

On a Mac, in Preview, you can do this by selecting the Save As... option from the File menu. Set the Quartz Filter drop-down menu to 'Gray Tone', and it will convert it to shades of gray. To save even more ink you may also choose 'Black and White', but only for very simple documents.
(Speaking from Mac Snow Leopard OS 10.6.2)

In other cases (i.e. Windows), you can also use Adobe Acrobat. See these instructions at eHow.
