He found that the Office of Management and Budget had already estimated that federal agencies would spend about $1.8 billion in printing for this year and that ink was more expensive than paper on a perpage basis.In his essay, “A Simple Printing Solution to Aid Deficit Reduction”， Suvir analyzed five documents produced by five US. government agencies and estimated how much ink would be used with four fonts: Garamond, Verdana, Times New Roman and Century Gothic. The analysis estimated that using 12point Garamond would save most, about 29 percent in ink costs.Suvir said his school district looked at the idea but hasnt been able to take the switch. “It didnt really catch on，” he said.“I understand its hard to make the change.”5.In Suvirs opinion, how can the federal government save printing costs？A.
