black ink
Dark writing liquid
Black ink is ink that is black in color, the standard choice for writing, printing, and drawing.
Most printed text uses black ink for its high contrast against white paper.
In business contexts, being in the black means showing a profit—from the accounting practice of recording gains in black ink versus losses in red.
