Use Century Gothic Font to Conserve Ink

image from GagStreet

Printer ink is expensive. We have to look for ways to lessen our consumption. Of course, the best way is to to reduce the number of pages we print. The second best is to use the right font. A study by the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay showed that by switching to Century Gothic as the default font, they were able to save  30% on ink. But, the wider Century Gothic covers more real space on paper than Arial, so using it could use more paper.

If a bit more paper is a real issue, then consider using EcoFont. The whole set is for sale, but a free sample is available for download here. To install EcoFont, follow this tutorials for WinXP and Win7.
