o, holey font...

A Dutch company looking for ways to reduce the environmental costs of printing has developed a new font that it says cuts ink usage by about 15 percent.

you can take a look at it here: http://www.ecofont.eu/ecofont_en.html

i may give it a try for in-studio stuff, since i don't have the means to read my scripts via a monitor in the booth.

the font is a free download.

I usually read from a screen in my studio, but I print copy to take to other studios all the time. I'll be using this (on both sides of recycled paper) for sure! Thanks for the tip!

If I ever........print something out it's usually in draft quality.

Rowell,

Very interesting. As you saw on Saturday, I read from the screen pretty much all the time, but worth the download anyway.

I am sorry for this, but it just needs color and we could have a neon sign....

Oh well... guess I am not "green" enough yet.

It reminds me of the lights at the end of the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. But, that's just how my mind rolls...
