Black Letter

Introduction.
For generations, the colour ink of choice in pens has been blue. The reason behind blue ink comes from the creation of the first pens – blue ink was easier to produce from natural sources, and as more colours were developed, the majority continued to buy the more easily obtainable and cheaper inks. Many people argue that blue is easier to read on the white paper, but in this day and age, and in the computer generation is it time everyone switched to black ink pens?
Why Use Blue Pens.
The only valid reason for still using a blue ink pen is that many believe that a signature in blue ink, is a good way to clearly see that a document has been signed, and is an original, not a photocopy, or digital version that has simply been printed. This is of course, nonsense nowadays, as printers can easily replicate any colour, and can easily print a letter with a blue signature at the bottom.
Why Switch To Black Ink.
It is most probably that any document that you fill-in, put your signature on, or complete will eventually be scanned and stored digitally. Black ink is much easier for scanners and photocopiers to detect and read, making a clearer copy.
Important documents – such as government forms or students essay and exam papers should always be completed in black ink for the same reason.
For these reasons alone, it is always better to carry or have easy access to a black pen.
Conclusion.
As this article has shown, there are few, if no reasons to continue to use blue ink. The ascetics of a hand written blue letter may look more pleasing, and give the impression of a unique document, but in reality it can be replicated and printed from a computer just as a black ink letter.
Amy Leigh Parker has recently created a site on Stainless Steel Kettles. The site is always updated and has articles such as Red Electric Kettle to read.
How do you turn BLACK to WHITE, by changing 1 letter at a time in 8 moves?
What do you call this game? This is my eldest son’s homework.
Check the website below out. Changing black to white is number 5. Answers are towards the bottom.
The doublet asks us to transform a given word into another by changing only one letter at a time, forming a genuine new word (not a proper name) with each letter change. The puzzle seems simple enough, but it really isn’t, as new solvers

The White Stripes – Under Blackpool Lights $19.99 Recorded in Blackpool, England’s Empress Ballroom in January 2004 with 8mm cameras, the White Stripes’ Under Blackpool Lights comes dang close to capturing the feel of their live show.

The grainy film… |

Clint Black – The Greatest Hits $5.36 Clint Black is often an amazing songwriter with one of the best pure voices in contemporary country music. However, since his impressive debut, Killin’ Time, Black seems to have grown increasingly more attached to clever word play and abstract ideas than he is to emotion and narrative. And when the songs are as awful as “A Bad Goodbye” (an overwrought 1993 duet with Wynonna), who cares how good hi… |

Still I Rise $6.64 Still I Rise, the third posthumous release of “new” material by Tupac Shakur, is not surprisingly a mixed bag. Recorded in 1996 with the Outlawz, the disc at its best does showcase the power of ‘Pac. More politically acute (and complexly anti-Clinton) than most gangsta rap even attempts to be, “Letter to the President” and “The Good Die Young” find the star turning in some of his most focused lyri… |
