FONT

What’s the difference between Calibri and Century Gothic? Apparently a lot!

What’s the difference between Calibri and Century Gothic? Apparently a lot!

Calibri Century Gothic

FROM PRINTER.COM*THE FONT SIZE (10 OR 11) IS RELATIVE. FONT SIZE WAS CHOSEN IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE PAGE FILLING FOR ALL FONTS IN THE MODEL LETTER WAS VIRTUALLY THE SAME.

ECONOMODE

EconoMode is a feature that allows the printer to use less toner per page. Selecting this option may extend the life of the print cartridge and reduce your cost per page. However, it will also reduce print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs [or e-mails, meeting agendas, notes, etc!] (HP.com)

BONUS!

Imagine you need to print a recipe for lemon layer cake to bake then bring to a

department meeting…

DECREASE LEADING IN WORDLEADING IS

THE SPACE BETWEEN LINES OF TYPE

EXAMPLE OF LEADING: 3.0 VS. 1.0

REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PAGES PRINTED IN COLOR

Price for a 24 page, 8.5”x11” color report plus a heavy-weight color cover: $20.00 per copy

Price for a 24 page report printed in black with just the front cover in color: less than $2.00 per copy

That’s more than 90% less

PRINT FIRST, THEN COPY

It costs more to print a copy of a document than to photocopy the same document

Print a single copy of a document then photocopy for additional copies

and Comment menu and select the Annotations Menu
