Hi, LibreOffice has already supported a similar solution to save more ink with the following improvements:
• Scalable ink saving (20-90%, or arbitrary values); • extreme ink saving (>96%) with excellent readability; • better layout on low resolution (<1200 dpi): instead of ugly spotted letters it uses low level methods of printers to provide consistent typefaces; • it works with all fonts. Usage: choose Grey 80%...Grey 10% colors for your text (you can add more colors to the palette: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Draw_Guide/Color_palette). For extreme ink saving, set outlined character formatting (=~60% ink saving) and combine with Gray 90% text color.
