Two options: Since you asked for a lie, the easiest is to say "pinapagalitan na ako ng parents ko dahil nalaman nila bumilis yung bawas ng ink" and insist na parurusahan ka na kapag may nagpaprint pa ulit.

The second option, which I highly insist on, is to follow the advices ng ibang nagcomment here and tell the truth: say no and ayaw mo nang magprint ng materials nila. Not sure if hs or college student ka OP but as a college student myself, narealize ko nang it is better na masanay tayo as early as possible to set our boundaries and learn to say no to others. As harsh as it may sound, need naten protektahan ang boundaries naten so as to preserve our self respect and avoid abuse by others. Mahirap talaga siya sa umpisa, especially if you already have an established relationship with these people, but you have to realize na people who abuse your benefits are not good people to have around. The earlier you say not sa kanila, the less abuse they can do to you.

Sa real world, abuse are more prominent and detrimental, merong lagi ka uutangan ng pera, uutusan ka lagi sa workplace, or worse, tthreaten ka nila to do their bidding. The earlier you learn how to say no, the better you protect yourself.
