You are looking at one order of ink to go into the printer in the computer lab. This is the 4th time we have ordered ink this year. The cost of these little blocks of wax is $433.00. That is more than my monthly car payment!!!! I know I harp on this all the time, but I find e-mails, lesson plans, grade reports, sheets from Starfall or PBS. Then stuff gets jammed up in the print cycle & just prints tons of copies, that no one needs. Keep in mind that you can always print to the copiers in the workroom, If you need that printer loaded onto your computer I will be glad to help you. Everyone should have a printer in your room. If it is not working you need to get help from Ronnie, Michelle or the Help Desk. When I realized that the ink was more than my car payment I nearly fainted. With the budget crunch here we are really going to have to be watchful of how we use things & make sure that we use them wisely.
