A US study has found that you can save money on ink cartridge costs by using size 10 font Century Gothic. (And let’s face it: NONE of us work in the completely Paperless office yet.)

Printer.com conducted the test with the Canon Pixma MP 210 for home users and the Brother HL-2140 laser printer to test business use.
They found that Century Gothic returned 31% savings in both printers.

“For the average private user, printing approximately 25 pages per week, this will easily generate a net reduction of US $20 in a year. A business-user, printing approximately 250 pages per week, could save $80,” wrote the Printer.com blog.

“If your organization uses multiple printers, you can save hundreds of dollars per year doing nothing more than picking a more economical font.”

Thom Brown, an ink researcher at Hewlett Packard told the Associated Press that a font with “”narrow” or “light” in its name is usually better at saving ink than its “bold” or “black” counterpart.typeface
