Save Money on Ink!
The post title sounds like spam mail, but I promise you I neither sell this product nor make any money for telling you about it. I've seen this advertised before and thought that one day I'd get around to trying it out. My previous article on the high cost of inkjet printer ink is the reason I'm writing about it now.
The product is called InkSaver which describes exactly what this product does. From the company's web page:
Guess what, folks, this really works. You program runs in the background on your taskbar and allows you to set how much ink your inkjet printer uses. Apparently it works with any brand and model, and it worked flawlessly on my HP 2175. You can choose any percentage between 0% (no savings) and 75% (max savings), but somewhere between 25% and 50% work the best. At 75% your printout is very light.
I use my printer's lowest quality draft setting (even for most business correspondence) and the 25% mark worked fine for me. The difference was negligible. The best results are if you use normal or high-quality mode, and you can set InkSaver to around 50% with good results. The program even displays the annual dollar savings that you can expect.
There is a free trial available, it installs and uninstalls easily and quickly. The program is very straightforward for even beginners to use, and I recommend it if you want to save money on ink.

The best way to save ink while maintaining print quality
InkSaver 2.0 allows you to control the amount of ink used by your inkjet printer, making your ink cartridges last longer. Using patent pending software algorithms, InkSaver optimizes printer data so that your printer uses less ink – even when printing at your inkjet’s highest resolution.

It sounds like you are controlling the print quality. I did that by choosing draft for my print outs.
Is this the same concept or does it work better than that?

It specifically controls how much ink is used, no matter what print quality setting your printer driver is using. I did some tests at various HP printer quality settings and each time, the "quality" stayed the same while InkSaver reduced the amount of ink. It goes beyond what the printer driver does.
