“Font change could save money, planet…” A Wisconsin university has found a new way to cut costs with e-mail — by changing the font. The University of Wisconsin, Green Bay has switched the default font on its e-mail system from Arial to Century Gothic. The university says the change sounds minor, but it will save money on printer ink when students print out e-mails in the new font. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< It takes several steps to save both paper and ink. 1) I change my margins to .7 (top), .7 (right), .7 (bottom) and .7 (left). This saves tons of paper since more info fits on a page. 2) I wrap text around my graphics (in MS Word double click on the graphic) and follow directions. 3) I change shading of my fonts to 80%. 4) I print in draft mode (In MS Word CTRL + P, then search for DRAFT Mode) 5) I recycle my printer cartridges by putting hole in top and squeezing ink inside using a kit I have. 6) I bought a gallon of black in for $180, and have been using it for over 10 years, and it's only 1/3 used. (NOTE: I print about 400 sheets per month so you do the Math. 7) I recycle paper by writing on the flip side (I have my kids use the flip side for writing, etc. Then we use that same paper for art projects, and rip it up for the art projects. 8) I try to buy recycled paper. Good luck as we save the world. j curry Page 1 of 2
