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.

Wow! Thanks for this wonderful information. Indeed, I didn't know that Century Gothic can be an 'eco-friendly' font! The use of greener solutions has come up several times in the recent past. IT companies are turning more towards greener solutions these days, to minimize expenditure. In this connection, I would like to recall the famous quote by none other than Bill Gates. He said, "Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven..." Now, businesses worldwide are opting for customized information technology solutions. So, I can certainly agree to what you said and I find it highly believable. Thanks for this interesting post!
