I’ve been using Platinum Carbon Black a lot in the past few weeks, as I started a new notebook in which it’s one of the few inks that works well. This is the first time since I started using #FountainPens where I have used a black ink on a regular basis. But… it’s kind of nice? I didn’t expect that. I like the high contrast of black on cream paper.

I’m definitely not giving up my colors, but I seem to have developed a new appreciation for black, it’s classic for a reason.

After a dozen years and several toner cartridges, I finally need to replace the drum on my Brother laser printer. This thing's been a workhorse. Drum comes Wednesday, so I'm not going to be able to have the latest +doc printed and assembled today, as I'd hoped. Oh well.
