Ecofont: Save money, Save ink and Save the Planet |
If you do a lot of printing that you know that printer ink is costly.
In most cases 4 ink cartridges will have already bought your printer; in some cases twice.
So the goal becomes conserving ink and money- Enter ECOFONT. The Ecofont is based on the Vera Sans, an Open Source letter, and is available for both PC and MAC.
Once you have downloaded Ecofont you can install the font into your local fonts folder. The Ecofont is based on an Open Source font and is free to use. If you no longer want to use the 
Ecofont, you can remove it from your fonts folder without any problems.
Please note:
The font is called ‘Spranq_eco_sans_regular.ttf’.
The font has holes in the characters and by not filling the holes in the characters it saves x amount of ink for each character and that equates to about 20% less ink.
The characters don’t show/display with holes in them. The characters are so small the ink will fill those holes simply by the ink spreading to the paper.
I idea is simple and if the font can maintain the readability then there’s no reason not to use it.
For those of you that is trying to save money, save the environment and stay inside you eco-environmental foot print; this is a good start.
Thanks for reading!
Enjoy.

I think most people would agree that saving money is something “easier said than done”. Personally, I believe it’s a mind-set that needs to be developed by creating good money-saving habits.
Here are some things I’ve done to help change my spending habits:
– Cook more at home ( Eating out is very expensive especially
if you do it a couple times a week
– Try shopping online ( You can find better deals than in the
store and you save on gas (I recommend HYPERLINK
"http://www.shoptivity.com" http://www.shoptivity.com)
– Pay the full balance on credit cards each month ( Interest
charge is like giving away free money
– Don’t forget to pay yourself ( Set up an online savings
account (they pay higher interest than a normal savings
account)
– Set a budget and goals ( It’s good to have your goals
written down so you see them everyday and don’t lose focus
on your ultimate objectives
Again, saving money requires a lot of patience and hard work. However, you’ll thank yourself later on in life. Good luck everyone!! =)
Thank you for this post! Money and Ecofont. It's very interesting to compare
