Bottom Line: Use this font for all your reports, charts, and other word processing needs. It uses 20% less ink, saves you money, and generates less waste from printer cartridges.

The prints we make for our 'daily use' not only use paper, but also ink. Plastic printer cartridges, if not recycled, generate waste and fill our landfills. With millions upon millions of printers in the world, imagine the impact of reducing, if only by a little, the amount of ink used in our printing process.

The Dutch marketing company SPRANQ, believes they have done just that. The developed “Ecofont”, a font which, when installed in your computers, reduces the amount of ink used in printing by up to 20%. The font works by imbedding tiny, almost invisible holes into the letters to reduce the amount of ink consumed. It works best in font sizes 10 to 12, for general printing purposes.

Best of all, the font is free to download, free to use.
