Operating System: Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks

Most of the Print menus on my Macbook allow me to reduce ink in the "Advanced Print Options"  However, I'm not convinced this function is working because turning the ink volume right down seems to have little visible effect.  Is it working, or is there some other setting I need to make?

May I know which App are you using for printing?

 

If possible please send me a screenshot of the options you are selecting to reduce ink usage.

 

The names and options might vary according to the App but printing in Draft Mode or Economy Mode uses less ink

 

The visual difference might not look obvious especially when printing documents but when printing photos the quality will be inferior when using draft mode and that is because less ink is been used

 

Thank you
