Which Font Is Most Inexpensive To Type?
In today’s society, with increasing costs for printers, printer ink and paper, many offices and small businesses are willing to try anything to cut down on their printing costs . Some implement the usual office-wide strategies of double-sided printing and secure login codes to use the printer . In other instances, more forceful measures have been enacted, such as buying every employee a USB flash drive or declaring a paper-free office. Here’s a much simpler solution: change your font and save up to 31% on ink costs. Wow, really ?
The most popular font type these days is Arial . A study conducted by blog.printer.com, however, deduces that it’s certainly not the most economical. To ensure a control, 10 fonts were compared, each one printing out the same text. A Canon Pixma MP210 was used to represent the printer an average home user would own and the Brother HL-2140 was used to represent the printer an average business user would own .
Identical pages were printed in all 10 fonts . The documents were turned into .pdf documents and scanned by the application Apfill, which calculated the total ink coverage of each page.
To establish a winner, each font’s relative ink coverage was evaluated and compared. With the assumption of 25 pages/week a home user could save $20/year in ink costs just by switching to Century Gothic. A business user printing around 250 pages a week would actually save as much as $80 in a year .
Keep in mind, many businesses have more than one printer, or print far more than 250 pages/week. For these businesses, the savings could be astronomical .
So what is the winner of this font-off ? Which font had the least page coverage while remaining acceptably readable?
That #1 font is Century Gothic, ladies and gentleman . Verdana and Times New Roman, other popular and common fonts, placed at #5 and #3, respectively . Arial placed #6 in the rankings out of the 10 fonts tested, suggesting that it isn’t terrible, but isn’t the greatest.
Now the next time you’re looking to cut ink and printing costs, try something simple: Try changing your font .
Take a look at the rest of the blog .printer.com article on their website, where you can see numbers and rankings for all ten of the tested fonts.
