“After Dutch holey cheese, there now is a Dutch font with holes as well.”
The prints we make for our 'daily use' not only use paper, but also ink. According to SPRANQ creative communications (Utrecht, The Netherlands) your ink cartridges (or toner) could last longer. SPRANQ has therefore developed a new font: the Ecofont.
We think this idea is AMAZING!
That's why we want to share it with you. Check out their website and download their Eco Font at http://www.ecofont.eu/ecofont_en.html

June 20 -9:43pmThanks for the new ecofont! It was easy to download and install and a marvelous idea! Although I love to sit down with coffee and the current issue of the Opus Newsletter, I really think that online is the way to be environmentally responsible.
Thanks for your green initiatives.

June 22 -3:14pmHey thanks Pamela, we appreciate your comments. And we also got a real thrill because you are the first person to post something on our newly re-designed website! We are just getting it all polished up now before making any formal announcements, so it was really nice to see somebody jump right in.
Great stuff, thank you.

June 22 -7:26pmAlthough the idea for this is interesting, you'd actually save even more ink/toner if you used a "thin" or "light" font, not to mention it would be easier to read.
Free thin/light fonts:

• Cicle Fina — http://www.dafont.com/font.php?file=cicle
To save *huge amounts* of ink/toner, use a "dotted" or "dashed" font.

Some inkjet printers will let you print in "economy", "draft", or "fast" mode when in the "Print..." settings dialog box. This tells the printer to do a rough, fast print which uses less ink than normal and sacrifices print quality.
