Eco-minded consumers are already well-acquainted with the impact of
printing and copying on the world's supply of trees. What's less widely
considered, however, is the ink that's typically used.
Sprang has developed a new font called the Ecofont that's designed to extend the life of ink cartridges and toner.
The result is based on the
Vera Sans, an open source letter, and uses up to 20 percent less ink
than traditional fonts and is free to download. The Ecofont works best in
OpenOffice, AppleWorks and MS Office 2007 at the 9- or 10-point size,
says Spranq, which invites designers from around the world to
participate in its further development.
What's even more eco-iconic
than recycled paper when it comes to printing? An eco-minded font, of
course. One to boost the eco-credentials of every business and
individual under the sun!
