I have only done this online. I did use a lot of ink and paper at first. It takes time to learn what can be read on the screen and what I need to print and take with me. If you use your fast economical print setting and print 2 pages per sheet it will save you some. I also use ink refills on my cartridge. I can only refill about 3 times before I have to buy a new one. I also invested in a scanner which has saved me much money in postage for receipts.
