Font selection effects ink conservation
Posted in: Conservation, Recycling, Tips & Tricks, blog by CW on 19 December 2009
Did you ever think that the font you select to print with could effect the number of pages a cartridge can deliver?
Obviously printing a great deal of bold characters on a page will use more ink, but it is also true that the font you use may consume more ink than another font.
Matt Robinson, in collaboration with Tom Wrigglesworth, found a unique way to illustrate the amount of ink each popular font uses. Granted, they are using ink pens to conduct their experiment, but the results are equally applicable to inkjet printing.
A selection of the most commonly used typefaces were compared for how economical they are with the amount of ink which they use at the same point size. Large scale renditions of the typefaces were drawn out with ballpoint pens, allowing the remaining ink levels to display the ink efficiency of each typeface. (Source-matthewrobinson.com)
