When you are printing the true cost per page is determined by several factors, the cost of the paper, the type of printing (colour or B&W) and the amount of ink used. If you need to print your email messages, map directions or other such items and you know that you will be throwing them away there are ways to save money.
The greenest way to go would be to refrain from this excessive printing. But what if you don’t have a GPS and you need those driving directions from Google or Yahoo maps?
One way to save resources (ink and money) would be to use a font that requires less ink when printing. Ecofont, a creation of Colin Willems uses the Swiss cheese approach to printing. The font is based on the Vera Sans with tiny circles placed within the characters to reduce the total ink/toner laid upon the paper.
Ecofont consumes about 20% less ink and it is free!
