“For most printer companies, ink is the bread and butter of their business. The price of ink for HP ink-jet printers can be as much as $8,000 per gallon
*, a figure that makes gas-pump prices look tame.“

Here is a way to help cut down on your ink consumption. Try the new Ecofont. It has tiny holes throughout the letters which cause them to use up to 20% less ink. When printed in a fairly small size (10 pt.), the holes are not noticeable. For large type sizes, the holes are obvious but look cool.

Some people may find these holes cheesy; Swiss to be exact. Or maybe it’s just the latest green gimmick. I think it’s pretty interesting anyway. You be the judge. Give it try at ecofont.eu.
