Green Information Technology Solutions: Font Type Can Make a Difference

I serve on a strategic planning for using information technology.  The use of greener solutions has come up several times. The January issue of Campus Technology has an article, Green Flash, on the topic.  According to the author, Jennifer Grayson, printer ink costs almost $8,000/gallon.  Wow!!  That said, it certainly is believable.  To use less ink, Victor Gosnell, the chief technology office at Gosnell recommended using a "green friendly" font - Century Gothic. Read more about printing costs and the font in the April 2009 article from Printer.com, Printing Costs: Does Font Choice Make a Difference? 
The printer ink cost information from the article is summarized in a table shown below.
