Switching to lighter fonts will save money

I'm going to share this article from AP's Dinesh Ramde http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/06/AR2010040602517.html with our English 9 class' problem/solution speech.
An excerpt from the article:
Here's a legal way to print money: change the font

MILWAUKEE — Here's a way you might save $20 this year: Change the font in the documents you print.

Because different fonts require different amounts of ink to print, you could be buying new printer
cartridges less often if you wrote in, say, Century Gothic rather than
Arial. Schools and businesses could save thousands of dollars with font

changes.
