A free flavor of GreenPrint software, which enables people to waste less paper when printing, became available Monday. The new application, GreenPrint World, detects and highlights unwanted content, such as banner ads on a Web page, that tends to spill over onto extra pages. It also lets users delete images from the printed page and quickly create print-friendly PDF documents. The GreenPrint interface appears when users print from any program.The software displays the amount of paper, money, and greenhouse gases users could be saving. GreenPrint estimates that regular usage may save up to $90 each year, the equivalent of more than 1,400 pages. GreenPrint aspires for widespread adoption of its product to spare 100 million trees from being chopped down and 300 million tons of greenhouse gases from polluting the atmosphere. GreenPrint also sells the first "green" font, called EverGreen, for $10. It's supposed to take up one-fifth less whitespace than Arial, Helvetica or Times New Roman. The company aims to design more fonts.http://www.news.com/8301-11128_3-9861268-54.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=GreenTechblog
