Save 20% on printer ink when you use ECOFONT

With "Green" in the air everywhere I found this week's RESOURCE magazine from the Minnesota Association of Realtors.  On page 6 there is an article for a new font called ECOFONT.  This font has a "swiss cheese hole" idea in which when printed it can save you about 20% on ink usage!  Save the environment and save money.  You can refer to page 6 for more details or the online version (http://www.mnrealtor.com/AM/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm?ContentFileID=2942&MicrositeID=0&FusePreview=Yes)

I just downloaded the font and printed from WORD.  I can tell you that visually in Word the print doesn't look the best but when printed it looks fine.  Obviously the small the font the less you see the missing spots.  It's actually a pretty smart idea.

You can also go to http://www.ecofont.eu/downloads_en.htmland download the font there.  (use the .ttf  one).  You can download it to your desktop and then follow the directions on how to install (either from the magazine or from the links on the ecofont website depending if you have windows xp, mac, vista....etc.  I simply copy and pasted the downloaded font into the C:\WINDOWS\fonts Folder.

Then, when in Word I just changed the font to Sprang eco sans from Times New Roman.  Its that easy. Start saving ink and money!
