Does copying documents on a copy machine take up less ink than printing out the documents?

Question by Slayer XY: Does copying documents on a copy machine take up less ink than printing out the documents?
I have a printer and a copy machine and I’ve written part 1 of my story that I wanted to share with 3 of my friends and get their opinion on the first part of it. I’m just wondering if there’s a way that I can use less ink.

A copier usually uses toner, not ink. It’s generally cheaper because of it’s lower quality. The problem would be if your “copy machine” is your all in one desktop inkjet, which would use the same amount of ink regardless. In the long run, copying has been cheaper in my experience for text.
