I assume they measure readability by putting the piece of paper on a white surface and see if it is still readable.
If it is still readable, then why in the world are they using holes? Instead of using holes, just don't put ink where the holes are. They found a way of minimize the ink needed to print a letter. I imagine it would be be like courier new or some font like that, without cleartype on.

On Slashdot, Chrome is still the #4 browser (after FF, IE, and Safari) but it was ahead of Safari for a few days, hitting almost 10% of our traffic.
