K-Staters looking for a way to reduce printing costs might want to consider using Ecofont. This font style, created by the Dutch company Spranq, was designed to use less ink than other fonts — about 15 percent to 20 percent less — by placing small holes throughout the typeface.
Though the holes are barely noticeble at smaller font sizes, Ecofont may not be ideal for all printing situations. However, for the everyday printing it’s a good way to help lower printing costs, reduce the volume of toner used, and help the environment all at the same time. Ecofont is available for free via download and can be installed on Windows Vista and XP, Mac OS X, and Linux.
