The Government Printing Office buys a lot of ink -- $680,000 worth.

"Throughout my investigation, I found this particular font (Garamond) can save a lot of money and a lot of ink," said  Mirchandani

"GPO appreciates Suvir's suggestion and will carefully review its applicability to the government documents we produce in print," a Government Printing Office spokesperson said.
