Young American has discovered how to save millions with font change documents
The letter "e" can be written in pen ink or printer. This vowel is the most used letter in the English Dictionary. Now imagine the printed millions of times â€" in various formats and documents â€" and the amount of ink that is required and costs involved.This is what thought Suvir Mirchandani, an American teenager of 14 years who developed a savings solution for the United States, which can reach the €269 million (US $ 836 million) annually. Just that Government authorities and u.s. Federal change the font used in the official documents printed.Savings lies in the amount of ink that printers spends to print a document. High school student of Dorseyville, near Pittsburgh, Mirchandai came to this conclusion when printed schoolwork and calculated how much spent on ink. The project has grown and the student turned out to present it at the science fair at your school.APFill software, that allows you to spend less ink and toner in printers, Mirchandai calculated the amount of ink wasted to print the letters "e", "t", "a", "o" and "r", the most widely used. The young based their calculations on four fonts-Century Gothic, Comic Sans, Garamond and Times New Roman. Subsequently, increased the size of the letters, printed them, cut them and weigh them. After three trials, built a graphic about the amount of ink required to print each font.Mirchandai concluded that the Garamond type is allowing greater savings. Given the spending on General Services Administration paint of Obama â€" about €342 million ($ 1 billion), the student discovered that if the Government changed the Times New Roman model by Garamond could save up to 30% on ink-€ 99 million (US $ 307 million). If local governments also made the Exchange could be spared €170 million (US $ 528 million). In total, the savings would be €269 million (US $ 836 million) annually.The student's proposal hasn't had an official response from the Obama administration, but the Manager of the federal Government's prints Department, Gary Somerset, considered the proposal as "remarkable", CNN.
