Tweak your typeface, save money on toner - Last year, printer comparison website Printer.com did an experiment to determine if choosing a different default typeface could help cut printing costs. After testing several common fonts available for Microsoft Office, the site determined that Century Gothic actually saved the most ink or toner, enough to save a significant amount of money even in light use cases. The savings were enough to convince the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay to switch to Century Gothic for the bulk of its printing needs. The school's IT department has asked staff and faculty to use Century Gothic whenever possible for printed documents. (We'll set aside aesthetic arguments for the sake of this article, but it's worth noting that Century Gothic's designer doesn't recommend the typeface for general text use.) The school spends about $100,000 in ink every year, and Blohowiak believes that the change can save the university between $5,000 and $10,000.
