Abstract
Example methods and systems to implement an economic printing mode are described. In one example, a computer system may provide a user interface specifying multiple selectable levels associated with economic printing mode. The source printing content may be transformed to generate target printing content that is printable using a lower ink consumption compared to the source printing content. For example, in response to a selection of a first level, print quality may be reduced. In response to a selection of a second level, image information in the source printing content may be modified. In response to a selection of a third level, font information associated with textual information in the source printing content may be modified. The computer system may provide the target printing content that includes modified font information to the printer for printing and/or generate a preview of the target printing content prior to printing using the printer.
