Make Your Ink Cartridges Last Longer with Ecofont   Email this article to a friend.  Add to Favorites.         Save on Delicious.

Be honest now. Much of the material you print on your home printer is used once or twice for personal convenience and then thrown away or (better yet) recycled.

The developers of Ecofont wanted to create a font that you could use for such mundane purposes while minimizing the ink needed for such printing. To do this, their new font has little dots of empty space within the letters themselves. The result is an estimated 20% reduction in the amount of ink consumed when using Ecofont rather than other more familiar font options.

It's available for both PC and Mac platforms and is free to download and use. You can also get a preview before deciding if you want to give it a try.

You can realize even more increased savings by using this font in conjunction with other frugal print options like reducing your font size, reducing the quality of your print and using a light gray font color instead of 100% black.

Bottom Line:

Save $4.00 or more per year.*
(*Individual results will vary. Calculations based on a 20% increased capacity for a single $20 ink cartidge.)
