Submarines - request for tips on printing

Hi
I like modern submarines and would love to print them out but I dont fancy using up an entire ink cartridge each time. Why can't submarines be painted white in real life? :-)

What is the best alternative method of getting the models without spending a fortune replacing ink cartridges?

use colored paper and edit (if possible) to print only outlines........light gray outlines on black paper, black outlines on red paper........any other part that can not be printed on colored paper print out as normal.........

just a thought

Good points. Thanks.
I have no idea how to print coloured outlines only at the moment. Will look into it.
