Wow – what a cool thing. I saw this on the Conscious Living blog. Check it out – a FREE downloadable font that allows you to use up to 20% less ink when you are printing! What a great idea. Download it and use it for your everyday printing. When it is at font size 10 you can’t even tell the difference.

Here is what their website says about the developer:

“The Ecofont is developed by SPRANQ, based on a hunch of Colin Willems. We tried lots of possible ink-saving-options. From extra thin letters to letters with outlines only. We have ommited various shapes: dashes, squares, triangles and even asterisks. In the end the circle was choosen as the best candidate for the job.With the Ecofont SPRANQ hopes to increase environmental awareness too. Increasing customer awareness about printing behavior: is printing really necessary or (partly) a waste of ink and paper? We also hope to inspire software giants and printer manufacturers to innovate in an environmentally conscious manner.”

This is what it looks like blown up, but again, if you use it at 9 or 10 you won’t see the dots (although I kinda like the look with the dots…)

I just downloaded it and can’t wait to start using it. LOVE easy ways to reduce waste!

Have fun!
