Ecofont


Some smart chaps in the Netherlands have designed a new font, which can save ink when printed. As seen in the image above it does this by introducing 'holes' to the font which, when printed in standard document sizes in a laser printer, do not appear visibly to the naked eye.

Apparently research suggests a saving of 20% ink from use of the Ecofont, which is obviously only a good thing in terms of reducing wastage (money and resources). In terms of office based conservationism (a subject I'm keen on and am in the process of writing a post about) this could be a really neat little tool so well worth shouting about.
