What do you change it to?

probably to 'fast' or lowest quality. i always check settings before a big print-if it's not important, not worth wasting much ink.

when you print a days form, it can take 30 or so pages just for one track.

My printer has a "Fast Draft" option which is 300 DPI. It prints much quicker than the standard option and uses much less ink.

This is what I use as well.

There ought to be a giant economy size ink cartridge, or a mess-free home refill system available, I just haven't found it yet.

Print on both sides with drf at fast normal or draft. Whole card comes out on only 8-9 pgs per track and ink does not bleed through to other side.

The Daily Racing Program is acutally a nice little product. I've used it a few times when I haven't been able to find a DRF -- which I prefer.

The "Program" should be a required item for sale at a simulcast facilities -- as opposed to those mimiographed PPs that many facilities sell for $1.50 or $2 a pop that feature only one track. So, you stop in and want to blow 30 minutes or an hour and you need to shell out $6 or $8 for four tracks -- and you might wind up finding out that there's really not a lot you like...

This product has all the tracks and should really be "the" product offered at simulcast facilities.

That said, I prefer the DRF. But, in a pinch, or at a simulcast facility as opposed to the cheap-o single-track PPs, the "Program" is OK.
