printer's ink
Press's black liquid
Printer's ink is ink formulated for printing presses, traditionally a thick, oil-based substance.
The phrase often appears figuratively to mean published writing or journalism itself: He got printer's ink in his blood at age sixteen and never left the newspaper business.
Someone with printer's ink in their veins is drawn to publishing or the press.
