Ink saving fonts

A study has shown switching fonts for printing can save on ink. Century Gothic and Times New Roman top the savings list. Century Gothic uses 30% less ink in printing than Arial. Save some $ by changing your default font. To be completely green, some fonts are more wide (which would require slightly more paper) so you can adjust the font size down one to help negate that. You'll be both green and saving some green too! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Thanks for the tip, Gohm ๐Ÿ˜€ . I have stopped printing the documents long ago. I only print when its absolutely necessary to print the documents (mostly that require signatures).

    Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I still print, but these days I reuse one sided papers (all my old notes and sample test papers) and also print multiple pages per side. The last year of uni was the craziest with the project submissions and research.

    How about we all invest in a microscope and print on microdots instead? *grin*

    Here's another way to see how much your actually saving. Check out this font calculator i came across. You can see exactly what the percentage of ink is you are saving by switching to different fonts and font sizes including ecofont. Hope it helps. #-Link-Snipped-#

    Thanks Gohm. I use calibri though but now I will make Times new roman as a default font.

    Can anyone tell me what is the official font used in various documents?

    Hey, I just experimented, I am saving more by using calibri (body) than another font (Font size 12) if the calculation from #-Link-Snipped-# is to be believed.

    What say people? Try for yourself.

    This is even cheaper than Times new roman and Century Gothic. Correct me if I am wrong. Can we have some genuine proof of any research? Also tell me about official fonts. Is Verdana used often?
