Do most people prefer black ink?

Sign your wills in BLUE. The original is sacred.

We only have blue pens in our office. I make my clients put their special black ink pens away and sign in blue. I did have one client who preferred his pen that wrote in brown. It was clear by looking at it that it wasn't a copy, so I let him sign with his pen. I'm waiting for a client to come in with a purple pen...

Well, it depends on the blue, but I use Private Reserve American Blue nearly exclusively with Waterman Florida Blue for a less saturated color.
Aurora black is deep and wet, LOVE it

This is Fullofleads avitar, he's purple. All over.

Hmmmm... Cindy... we can only see his face and hands (which aren't purple!) on that avatar... painting with a broad brush? Or personal knowledge?? LOL!!!!


And while I do prefer Pelikan Fountain pen ink in blue/black, I always use a Bic Z4 .7 mm in black ink... although I really used to like the Pentel rollers from about 20 years ago...

I agree. Blue is a sissy color, black ink is more of a "drive the point in." Sorry, I'm fanatic about black ink.

Cindy, WTF!!!!! Blue is not, HAS NEVER BEEN, AND WILL NEVER BE A SISSY COLOR!

You know you've gotten a real letter from "W" if it's signed in blue.

And his own name is spelled wrong.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

For many years I had to produce graphs, drawings, and notes that I needed to be able to duplicate and/or fax. My standard was to carry a .7mm HB lead pencil and an extra-fine point felt pen. Nowadays anything I do for general consumption has to be done on a computer. I email things rather than faxing them, I generate Visio diagrams rather than sketches, I create spreadsheets and convert them to graphs. Now I carry blue pens to write checks, sign things and to mark-up computer generated documents. All these things are nicer when I do them in blue.

You mean you didn't use a non-repro blue pen?

 

[Emanuel]

Real men prefer pink!

Not.

Well, I would have, but I thought that particular shade of blue was sissy.

I use black. In the UK all government forms have to be in black ink. I worked at one place and I used a Pentel Green rollerball as I wanted to be different I also went through a phase of making my own ink for a fountain pen mixing blue and red ink, the colour was sort of violet.

Now I use a chrome steel Papermate with a medium black refill.

Blue pen, black ink:

Graphs and drawings?, I still have these, not used much any more....

As Merryweather said:

Blue!

 

[Lurp]

Black ink looks more professional, but if you want to the original copy to be more distinguished go with blue.

 

[Blue Jays]

Hi Lurp-

Those are my exact sentiments. Using a combination blue/black ink seems to provide the best of both worlds.

If the world thought like me we would all get along. Do it with Black Inkdoesn't that look better than the other color?
