Arial vs Century Gothic

We all know that hybrid vehicles are more fuel efficient- use less fuel than their counterparts. But now, what about fonts?  Yes, the same “fonts” we choose to use in our emails, and electronic correspondence.

Jack Nadel, Intl has switched to electronic purchase orders and invoicing to help reduce our environmental impact, but what about on the receiving end if the recipient chooses to print the invoice/purchase order, or even the email?

Well, the University of Wisconsin, has just determined and announced it is switching it’s official font for emails from Arial to Century Gothic.   According to Diane Blohowiak, the school’s director of computing, the new font uses 30% less ink than the previous one!  Considering the cost of printer ink is about $10,000/gallon, that is quite a significant savings for resources and finances!

Many Jack Nadel, Intl employees already use the phrase “consider the environment before printing this email” on their email signatures, but now we have proof that it doesn’t  just  makes sense for the environment, but also budgets.

Not printing is better than printing, but if you have to print, consider the font - Paul Navabpour
