There are many exciting things available to print these days, from temporary tattoos to posters to paper craft. You may wonder whether the cost of keeping your printer topped up with paper and ink is going to stop you having fun in this way. The good news in this respect is that buying online has now become a hugely popular way of buying the likes of HP ink cartridges at a low cost.
Once you see how little it could cost to print with your HP printer you can check out the programs and websites which will allow your imagination to run wild as you print off all sorts of exciting and unexpected stuff.
Design Your Own Tattoos
Once you have stocked up on cheap ink cartridges you will also need some special paper to print your own tattoos but it is worth making the effort. This paper can be found online and once you get started you could have great fun making unique designs and seeing how they look on different parts of your body. These are for temporary use and clearly won’t be of the same high quality as permanent tattoos but they could give you a great new look now and then. If you are wondering whether a permanent tattoo would suit you then this could also be a fine way of doing a trial run.
Find a New Hobby
A hobby which is becoming increasingly popular is called papercraft. Basically, you need to find a website with some interesting designs on it and then print these off. You then use all of the different sheets you have printed off to build the completed model. These are available in simple designs for kids and in hugely complex ones for experts, such as racing cars, dinosaurs, planes and boats. Not all of us have the patience for this kind of thing but if you love bringing designs alive then this could be a wonderful hobby for you.
Print Fun Posters for Your Wall
As I kid I can remember eagerly rushing out to spend my pocket money on posters of my favourite pop stars. Sadly Wham and Paul Young wall posters are harder to come by these days but there is a solution at hand. Some websites will now allow you to upload onto them the images you want to use and then turn them into classy wall posters. The process of making the design and then putting together the different sheets of paper is fun and the end result can be very satisfying. As with the previous points, this is a hobby which could use a lot of paper and ink, so it pays to buy in bulk before you get started.
Get Organised
If you need a personal organiser there is no need to go out and buy one. All you need to do is print one off. This DIY approach means that you can choose the pages that you need instead of being stuck with lots of useless pages which you will never even look at, never mind write notes on. You can also get creative and make it a lot more interesting than the kind of organiser you could buy in the shops.
Improve Your Business
The last point might be a trifle less exciting than the ones about giant dinosaurs and cool tattoos but it could prove to be more useful in the long run. If you want to look more professional at work then you have probably already thought about getting your own business cards printed off. By doing this with a professional printing firm you could end up paying out a lot of money. However, a smarter approach is to do it at home and save money. This way you can also try out a few different designs before settling on one to print off.
These are just a few of the fun things that you could print off with your own ink cartridges at home.
