Most of the time there is no need to use high DPI on any of your documents,
to save on toner you can safely use 300 DPI and switch on toner save as default.

If you have some photos in your document and you need them to be of good quality then use 600 DPI
but put it back to 300 DPI afterwards, text dont look any better in anything higher than 300 DPI anyway..

Yeah that's what I do. I don't print any type of photos, mainly text so I keep it at 300 dpi. And I never check 'Dark Text' or 'All Text to Black' and keep Darkness at Normal. Of course when I have a cartridge that's starting to print light, then I max all those things out. Sometimes on a tax form PDF file, I'll use 600. That's funny though, I think 600 dpi is the standard low resolution now on new printers isn't it?
