“…However, selecting the font types that use less toner / ink when printing is required will be the most suitable option for greener printing. Milošević et al [25] also produced similar results. The font generated by the font called eco-font was found to use 39% less ink than other fonts.…”

Some of the fonts used in the computer systems are designed to facilitate readability on the computer screen while others are designed to use both readability and print space economically. However, computer users do not have any idea which of the most commonly used fonts are more economical. In the present study, the printing area of the 10 commonly used fonts were examined with image processing methods and compared among each other. It is seen that the font which uses the least print area among Century Schoolbook,

“…Thurstone's model is widely used for reliability, scaling and comparative human judgment [52]. The model assumes that the human perception of quality is a Gaussian random variable that can be quantified using an arbitrary constant γ (see Equation ( 6)), also called Thurstone's law for case V. Milosevic et al [25] adopted the Thurnstone's law for case V to determine the visibility of open-source Ecofonts and non-Eco typefaces using 40 observers. In their study, the approach was applied to the observers' grading data on text paragraphs printed using the Ryman Ecofont and its original version.…”

“…Among the numerous open-source options, the Ryman Ecofont (see Figure 1a) [24] is popular for Latin alphabets (like the English one). Research indicates [25] that the use of Ryman typeface instead of traditional solid-filled typeface (for the most used typeface sizes) reduces the consumption of inkjet toner by approximately 39%, although the visibility of the typeface becomes noticeable as the typeface size increases. Whilst reducing the use of toner is important, ease of reading is also critical in a document.…”

“…To date, existing research on the use of Ecofonts has focused on Latin typefaces, as most of the studies were carried out in countries where English is used. Therefore, the use of Ecofonts cannot be extended to other non-Latin alphabets [25], which in turn hinders opportunities for material and cost savings elsewhere. In this study, the commonly used Latin typefaces are first modified by placing holes within the typeface, and image analyses on pixel removal are subsequently performed.…”

Analysis of Ink/Toner Savings of English and Thai Ecofonts for Sustainable Printing

et al. 2021

The use of Ecofonts in printing can result in economic savings and lower environmental impact. However, most of the research on the use of Ecofonts focuses on Latin alphabets. Moreover, texts printed with Ecofonts can be perceived as being less legible than those printed with the original typefaces. This study (a) assesses toner use reductions in documents printed with English and Thai Ecofonts, and (b) studies the observers’ perception of texts printed either with Ecofonts or with original typefaces. To achieve this, black pixels were removed from 10 English and 13 Thai typefaces widely used in academia and other media. Visibility and legibility tests, as well as mass analyses tests, were then performed on texts printed with some such typefaces. Results from instrumental measurements and digital image analyses show that the use of Ecofonts reduces toner use of an inkjet printer by up to 28%. The study also proposes a new Ecofont typeface for the Thai language. Visual tests showed that the visual experience of text printed using this Thai Ecofont is satisfactory. Awareness of the benefits of using Ecofonts changes the users’ attitudes towards the printing quality of Ecofont. The removal of black pixels can lead to more sustainable printing, and this simple solution can be extended to other non-Latin languages as part of the global Green Information Technology efforts in South-East Asia.

“…When the paper passes through the fuser, the dry ink (toner) containing polymer will melt and stick firmly to the paper fibers [7]. Besides magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ), dry ink (toner) is made of the main raw material is carbon, this carbon is usually mixed with some addictive substances such as styrene acrylate copolymer and hydrocarbon and cerium resins oxide as a material to improve print quality and adhesion [8][9] [10].…”

The competition engaged in manufacture of the dry ink industry (toner) is increasing, with many types of dry ink (toner) emerging from various brands. This makes each brand compete to try to create quality dry ink. However, this is not easy, because raw material for making dry ink is expensive and stickiness of dry ink on the paper can change if the material is modified. The dry ink in this study was made by modifying the raw materials using natural mineral magnetic (Fe3O4) from the iron sand of Pasie Nan Tigo beach, activated carbon from rice husks biomass, and organic polymer Acacia Senegal. Taking into account the mixture of three raw materials in made of dry ink (toner) will affect the characteristics of dry ink (toner), one of the characteristics affected is the large content of magnetic minerals (Fe3O4) in it, it is necessary to test the value of susceptibility in dry ink (toner) to see the amount of magnetic minerals that are still present in the dry ink after mixing. The tool used for testing magnetic susceptibility values here is Bartington Magnetic Susceptibility MS2B. The purpose of this study is to produce quality dry ink with good dry ink paste power (toner) with based the characteristics of the susceptibility value of the dryink (toner). This research method uses extraction and coprecipitation methods and emulsion polymerization methods to increase the strength of the stickiness dry ink (toner) on paper. The results of characterization obtained by range 11924.60 x 10−8m3/kg until 27916.97 x 10−8m3/kg.
