Hey gang, InkIsIt's Nathan Bannigann here. I hope you're ready to learn, because I've got a very exciting printing tip for you that might just make you wanna put on a swell hat and sing at the top of your lungs. Great! Okay, first thing you're gonna wanna do is put on a hat of your choosing and belt out one of your favorite tunes. At the same time, you're gonna have a trained photographer take a picture of you. I know what you're thinking: I can't afford to print that picture. Well, guess what? You don't have to, because you're gonna hire a sensibly priced novelist to write a brief description of that picture. Anytime you wanna show the picture to your friends and loved ones, just read them the brief description instead. Sure, it's not quite the same as being able to show them a big color picture, but if you find a novelist who'll do the job on the cheap, then you might be able to save a little dough.

Wow,

Nathan

Hello, hello, everyone! Nathan Bannigann here and I just couldn't wait to talk with you on this very special day. Now if you're like Max and I then chances are you have an extra printer lying around the house -- maybe you got it for free when you bought your computer or maybe you just can't afford to actually use it. Anyways, Max and I came up with a fun little game we play with that inkless printer. Basically, what I do is I close my eyes, then, while I count to a thousand, Max drives around town and hides the printer somewhere three feet underground. Then I run around town with a shovel and dig hole after hole until I can find the printer. One time, to make the game harder, I searched for the printer blindfolded. We had to stop that though because I got hit by numerous cars and fists.

Anyways, don't try that game at home, gang. Though it really helps build up your digging muscles, it is dangerous. Maybe best to use that inkless printer for something more useful -- perhaps cover it with salt and use it as a salt lick for any local animals seeking the nutrients they need most: salt.

Keep on printing,

Nathan

Hey, gang. It's your "Ink Is It" co-host Nathan Bannigann with what I hope to be a very special idea. If this works out as well as I think it will, you'll never have to spend a dime on printing again. Let's get right to it: From now on, instead of filling your ink cartridges with expensive printer ink, you can use something I like to call "trash juice". Okay, now to make your "trash juice", you're gonna need to gather all the trash from around your house and plop it right into your juicer. Now, you're just gonna blend it until it becomes a fine pulp then throw it in your empty ink cartridge. Kooky, huh? Kooky and free! Alright, we're not done yet. Here's the best part: print, Print, PRINT!

Printing for F-R-E-E,

Nathan

P.S. Just tried the trash juice thing. It doesn't work.

Nathan Bannigann here, folks. Just wanted to check in and tell you a story you'll find, at best, amusing and, at worst, dreadfully awful. Today I walked in on my wife Jennifer printing a picture of her standing next to our local auto mechanic, Trent Dalehauser. Now, don't get me wrong -- I like Trent. Not only is he a strapping, young fellow, but he is always honest and forthright about the myriad of problems with our automobile. Did you know that you need to replace your steering wheel every 1,000 miles? I didn't. Anyways, though I didn't mind my wife printing a picture of her with Trent, did she really have to print out five hundred color copies? I'm no calculator owner, but plug that into the ol' noodle and my loving wife printed about $160 worth of her hugging the best-looking auto mechanic in town. I calmly explained this to her, noting that, if we want to continue to print at such rates, we'll have to tighten up other parts of our budget, particularly those involving basic upkeep.

The point is, folks, make sure to keep an eye on your printer or, next thing you know, you won't be able to afford toothpaste.

Yours,

Nathan
