Change Print Font, Save Money

Teen to government: Change your typeface, save millions - CNN.com

"A 14-year-old student claims to have found a way of saving the US government $400 million dollars\simply by changing the font they use for official documents.

... if the government chose Garamond font instead of Times New Roman, 
...it would use 25 per cent less ink because each character is lighter and thinner.

Ink is two times more expensive than French perfume by volume..."

Chanel No. 5 perfume costs $38 per ounce, while the equivalent amount of Hewlett-Packard printer ink can cost up to $75.

Government's annual printing expenditure: $1.8 billion
