Fontastic. Ahh, the simplicity of this idea. Most of us know that limiting the amount of paper we print is a great green idea, but some lateral thinking Dutch folk have gone to the core of the problem: introducing the Ecofont!
The idea behind it is quite simple actually, during printing, ‘Ecofont’ literally ‘shoots’ holes into the letters that you have typed, to reduce the ink used by up to 25%.
The Dutch company claims it was the holes in cheese that gave them inspiration for the design of their software that has helped to extend the life of print cartridges and reduce the amount of landfill each year.
Ecofont allows you to work with your customary font such as Arial, but when it comes to printing you hit the Ecofont print button. The resulting documents look great, save money and help you save the environment as well. Ecofont professional is available from January 2010.
For more information and a free download of the Ecofont software, you can visit the Ecofont website.
