Change the standard font of government printing to Garamond in order to save up to $136 million/yr on the cost of ink

Created by R.S. on March 28, 2014

A student in PA named Suvir Mirchandani recently discovered that by changing fonts used in documents and printing large costs on ink can be achieved.

Further study determined that the US and State governments could save up to $136 million or 30% on ink related costs each year by switching to Garamond font type.

Let's make changes so that the US government can realize these efficiencies and cut almost 30% out of the yearly ink and printing budget.
