The right font can save you money
Psst...want to save some
money on printing? Try Century Gothic.
Hit by the high prices of
inkjet and toner cartridges, we're all looking for ways to shave some
bucks off the cost of printing. New data from Printer.com found that
because different fonts use different amounts of ink to print, using
the right font could save you as much as 31 percent off your inkjet
and toner cartridge expenses.
Printer.com, a Dutch company
that compares printers and their costs, recently put its theory to
the test. The company set up two printers--a Canon inkjet and a
Brother laser printer--to see how much money could be saved by using
different fonts. Both printers were left at their default settings of
600x600 dots per inch.
Can the right font cut
your printing costs?
Using the default Arial font
as a baseline, Printer.com changed to different fonts as it put the
printers through their paces. The winner: Century Gothic, which
delivered a 31 percent savings in printing costs over Arial.
On a dollar basis, the
company projected that the average person printing around 25 pages a
week would save $20 a year by using Century Gothic for all documents.
A business or heavy-duty user printing 250 pages per week would save
around $80 for the year. And large companies with multiple printers
could potentially save hundreds of dollars a year.
As a thin and light font,
Century Gothic managed to beat out Econfont, which was specifically
created to cut costs by spewing out less ink. But if Century Gothic
doesn't look like the right style for your documents, third place and
always popular Times Roman could also help ease your printing budget,
according to Printer.com's results.
To conduct its tests,
Printer.com switched among the 10 most frequently used fonts and
chose a font size of 10 or 11. To better determine the coverage of
each font, the company printed documents saved as PDF files and used
a software program called Apfill to calculate that coverage.

Listed Here is a Daily Log kept by me for the 30 years that I was in prison within the Glorious State of Washington, read this then ask yourself if it was you, would you be pissed off at the State and the Federal Government?
WARNING: THIS IS REAL LIFE, NOT FICTION! DEAL WITH IT!
Now, I've tried my very best to set the record straight, and I have been met with a stone wall of indifference; it seems that people just don't care. I wasted away in a prison cell and people who should have known better, has refused to be contacted by either myself or others. After you read these pages, if you have a funny taste in your mouth, I urge you to call your state representative and ponder the question. I have done everything in my power to see that what was wronged changed to what is right, I have gotten no where, and when I stated my desire to release this log to the public the response was swift and quite over-whelming, and emphatic "NO!" YOU WILL NOT RELEASE THE LOG TO ANY OTHER PARTY IN THE GENERAL COMMUNITY! There was no reason given for this statement other than you will not, yet the federal agency/politician making the order has done nothing to suggest that they or s/he will ever investigate. So please read these pages carefully, and read about Washington's Great "Behavioral Modification Program" then ask yourself or ponder the meaning of our penal system. I caution the reader, what these pages are is not for the feint of heart, there are written in my own hand, covering a space of 30 years. Beware of the language used.
For the rest of the Log, Please refer to Part II, which will be posted herein the next few days. My computer is rather slow, and I have to convert each page to a JPEG File before uploading onto the Blog, so have patience, there is another 75 or so pages to post.
And basically, it makes me very angry for some good for nothing politician to tell me what I can and cannot do! So let them sue me, they got everything that I own already, and I'm supposed to be a free person (now that I am not on parole or under the department of corruptions anymore), and yet I was ordered NOT to post this Log on any part of the 'net! Well, here is part one and I'll get part two out in a bit.
