So naturally, the government did what it does best: completely ignored him.
Kind of makes you wonder who's getting the kickbacks from the ink and font lobbies.

I don't blame the government. After all, how many trolls have come in here telling us we could make thousands using a "simple trick"?
FWIW, the idea has genuine merit.

He should do a calc. on how much ink is being saved as newspapers are being resized to tabloid.
Or how much is being saved with the newspaper world going digital.
The kid is actually pretty much behind the curve. But kudos anyway, he's just a kid.

I used to use an elite typewriter just to save on paper.

It occurs to me that this might contain an actual useful nugget of advice for those us who use a home printer and are caught in the "Cheap Printer/Expensive Ink Cartridge" scam.
