InkDiet – Save Printer Ink

Phone scans look fine on screen and eat ink on paper. The culprit is the grey
background: shadows, paper tone, sensor noise. You barely notice it on a display,
but your printer puts every shade of grey on the page.

InkDiet removes exactly that. Photograph the page and the app pulls the background
to clean white while keeping text and lines intact. You see what you saved right
away — as a percentage for each document and as a running total on the home screen.

WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM
Ink is what your printer lives on, and this app puts it on a diet. Ink Diet, in
other words: less ink per page, without the page looking any worse for it.

HOW IT WORKS
• Photograph a page or pick one from your gallery
• Check the corners — edges are detected automatically, the loupe helps you fine-tune
• Pick a filter: Soft, Strong or Colour (no filter)
• Compare before and after side by side, zoom in on the detail
• Save, export as PDF, share or print

WHAT YOU GET
• Perspective correction — a page shot at an angle comes out straight
• Three filter strengths with an adjustable slider
• PDF in A4, Letter or A5 at 150, 300 or 600 dpi
• Merge several pages into a single PDF
• Pen, box and text for quick markup
• Print directly via AirPrint or Android printing

YOUR SAVINGS, YOUR PRINTER
What a saved page is worth depends on your printer and your cartridge. That is why
you set the ink cost per page yourself — the euro figure in the app is an estimate
based on that number, not a measurement.

NO CLOUD
All image processing runs on your device. Your scans are not uploaded and never
sent to a server.

The app is ad supported. An ad appears at the earliest once a document is finished
— never while you are working on one.
