Ben’s Ink Notes:

Printer ink is one of the most expensive liquids you can find:

$0.60 / mL – HP #45 black ink cartridge
$0.40 / mL – Human Blood from Red Cross
$0.34 / mL – 1985 Dom Perignon
$0.08 / mL – Penicillin

• Change your font!
  University of Wisconsin-Green Bay switched their email system’s default email font from Arial to Century Gothic
  Apparently they use 30% less ink
  Disadvantage is that Century Gothic apparently takes a bit more space on the page, so that’s a bit more paper used.
• Use Ecofont
  It punches tiny holes in your font, small enough to not be seen, but big enough to let you save up to 25% of your ink or toner.
  They offer a free sans-serif font, but also make software (paid) so you can make other fonts more eco-friendly. (not available yet in the web shop)

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has switched the default font on its e-mail system from Arial to Century Gothic. It says that while the change sounds minor, it will save money on ink when students print e-mails in the new font.
Diane Blohowiak is the school’s director of computing. She says the new font uses about 30 percent less ink than the previous one.

This is fascinating news: 90% of the distant Universe was thought to be missing, but it was recently found. And what
