Secondly it actually uses 30% MORE ink than Garamond.

I'm so glad you've posted that, its the first I have seen this font. I am going to give it a try and see how well it does on my printer. Has anyone tested how much ink it can potentially save? They say 20% on the site, but I don't really see any sources to back it up. If you know anymore that would be great. Kvh, that font is awesome.

What Courier might save on ink, it will surely make for in additional paper. And not all type of a particular point size will be the same size when printed. One thing is true, however: Comic Sans wastes heaps of ink and paper. Take that however you please. I think it’s a mistake to compare at equal point sizes – it’s an irrelevant comparison.

The natural dot-gain of inkjet printers fills it in for you. Then there’s Eco Font, which is Veranda with a bunch of holes cut in it. The natural dot-gain of inkjet printers fills it in for you.
