Save the Environment – One Print at a Time!

Being that we are a print company, we’d prefer for you to print everything through us. In reality, we know that the majority of your printing will be done at the home or office. And in case you haven’t noticed, print cartridges are expensive! Therefore, consider this a little holiday gift from all of us at PrintFirm.

From ecofont.com - The prints we make for our 'daily use' not only use paper, but also ink. But your ink cartridges (or toner) could last longer.  We have therefore developed a green font: the Ecofont.

"After Dutch holey cheese, there now is a Dutch font with holes as well."

Appealing ideas are often simple: how much of a letter can be removed while maintaining readability? After extensive testing with all kinds of shapes, the best results were achieved using small circles. After lots of late hours (and coffee) this resulted in a green font that uses up to 20% less ink. Free to download, free to use. There is also a print solution for business environments: Ecofont Professional.

How to install the Ecofont?
Windows Vista, Windows XP, Max OS X, Linux

The letters don't appear clear on my screen.
The Ecofont works best when using font size 9 or 10. The results vary depending on your software. If you work on a Windows platform you could use ClearType.

Is there an Ecofont serif too?
The Ecofont is (also) intended for business purposes. In business environments the sans serif Verdana - on which the Ecofont is based - is often used.

What else can I do to save ink?
