Contrasting results will come from using different quality printer paper, according to an expert.
Rick Maybury, writing for the tech section of the Daily Telegraph, was answering a reader's query after asking if there were any disadvantages to using cheaper paper.
The correspondent said that printer ink users should not be afraid to experiment with the different settings and paper that is available.
Users can choose paper of different thickness, while special photo sheets are available for printing items snapped on a digital camera.
"The point is if you are getting acceptable results on cheap paper then by all means continue to use it. Paper absorbency doesn't have any impact on ink consumption, but it can affect the sharpness of printed characters," he advised.
Mr Maybury went on to say that recycled printer ink cartridges have benefits in being cheaper than brand new versions.
He noted that these models are perfectly suited to machines where the print head is built into the ink cartridge, such as most HP devices.

Ink giant HP has announced that it is to manufacture a new range of lightweight paper, known as HP Paper Thin.
The company claim that the new range of paper will be enough to reduce the environmental impact caused by printing and paper storage by as much as 22 per cent.
Speaking at a sustainable printing event in Milan this week, Dave Lobato, environmental programme manager for HP's Imaging and Printing Group, told how the range would come to North America in spring and Europe at the end of 2012 or early 2013.
Mr Lobato said: "Some enterprise-class customers bring paper in by the pallet load, but around 45 per cent of that is stored, so this could significantly cut down on storage space."
He also claimed that plenty of enterprise-class firms often don't realise they spend, on average, (£6.3) on paper for every spent on printer-related energy over a three-year period.

A blog written for the technology section of the Monsters and Critics site has suggested print quality depends on paper selection as well as the quality of the ink cartridges.
The blog suggests that the correct sort of printer paper is essential for the printer you use. So in terms of laser jet and ink jet printers it is important that the right paper is chosen if users want the highest quality printing jobs.
Torsten Neumann of German computer magazine Chip told the blog that there are issues to bear in mind with either type of printer so users should keep information in mind.
Mr Neumann told the blog: "Laser printers tend to have a problem with thicker paper graded at more than 160 grams per square metre. And paper with a plastic layer can melt in a laser printer and gum up the feed tray."
The blog also suggested a use of different standards of paper depending on how important the cause was i.e. archiving forms or printing ads.

After finding out you've run out of ink cartridges, one of the most frustrating experiences for a printer user is the dreaded paper jam. New and more sophisticated printers are being released all the time, yet the perennial paper jam is still a recurring problem.
And while there is plenty of advice online, much of it comes from dubious sources that also suggest a good way to preserve toner cartridges is to pack them away for weeks on end with a wet sponge. So it's good to hear some advice coming from a rather more legitimate source – the New York Times' Gadgetwise blog, no less.
The newspaper's J.D. Biersdorfer suggests that one way to solve the problem is to pull the paper out by hand, but only if it is in the direction it would normally feed through. Pulling it out any which way isn't advised, as this could damage the printer's internal rollers and apparatus.
And if the paper can't be manually removed, have a look at the printer's access trays and doors – you might be able to remove trapped paper this way, Mr Biersdorfer says. "If you are using a laser printer, removing the toner cartridge may also reveal an additional spot to remove a jammed print job," he wrote.

Printer ink firms could be set to pay considerably more for their paper next year.
According to PrintWeek, European paper mills are gearing up to implement double-digit price hikes in the new year – including a possible £50 per tonne increase for coated mechanical papers.
The proposed increases will be effective from January 1st 2011, and will only be "firm" until the end of March. An anonymous industry source told PrintWeek he had received letters from UPM that inferred the price increases would go ahead.
"The picture on price increases is complicated but most of the activity is focused on publication grades where, depending on the term of the agreement being renegotiated and the particular grade, increases vary from eight to 25 per cent," UPM general manager Will Oldham told the printing industry news service.
He added: "The price increases are out of kilter with the economy and mean that we can't budget for the magazines. The mills are blind to that and think that the market can withstand it."
In March this year, PrintWeek reported that mills would increase paper prices in the region of between eight and 12 per cent from April.

Photo paper developer Ilford has launched the newest member of its Galerie line, with a paper ideal for black-and-white pictures.
The Gold Fibre Silk is a traditional baryta paper (made from barium sulphate), which allows it to better hold emulsion as the chemical components are often used as a whitener, according to cnet.com
While the paper is ideal for black and white prints, it is capable of displaying colour as well, meaning that sepia and selenium-toned pictures are available through the use of digital toning and colouring techniques.
It also means that prints can be given a vintage hand-coloured look.
The Gold Fibre Silk papers offer photographic-gallery standard prints for the first time on home computer printing, bringing the fibres of the darkroom to a home printer.
