It states that you can save money by switching the default print on your printer. It reads: "When Printer.com tested popular fonts for their ink-friendly ways, Century Gothic and Times New Roman topped the list. Calibri, Verdana, Arial and Sans Serif were next, followed by Trebuchet, Tahoma and Franklin Gothic Medium. Century Gothic uses about 30 percent less ink than Arial."
The article does warn, however, that some fonts like Century Gothic are wider, and so you may end up using more paper. Times New Roman font seems to be the best choice of font--it uses less ink than other fonts and it is still narrow to use less paper.
Some other way to save on printing:
- Ask yourself if you really need to print it in the first place. Could you just jot it down on a scratch piece of paper instead?
- Use the fast draft option. It uses less ink.
- Use the "print in grayscale only" option. Again, it uses less ink.
- Print on both sides of the page.
