Riddle me this!
Being sceptical about black ink I recently took the plunge and ordered some from Amazon. Sure enough, after a few days the postie arrived with my purchase.
I was afraid he might push it through the letter box too hard and make the ink go all bubbly and foamy(the printers nightmare). But my fears were allayed
when the door bell rang and the postie placed the package in my hand and went on his merry way with a cheery wave and a how'd' y'do...! Back inside I made myself
a cup of tea to steady my nerves before carefully opening the packaging and removing the technological marvel within.
After diligently removing the plastic wrapper and microchip protector I snapped off the orange ink cover and installed the little beauty into my Canon printer.
I then set about printing some photos of Slash which I had taken and scanned some years before. With baited breath I waited for the prints to spew forth and settle
on the receiving tray. I almost didn't dare look. I had another cuppa and rich tea biscuit. After waiting for them to dry and the inks to settle I gingerly picked up one
of the prints and walked over to the window. I was not disappointed! Slash's hair, his t-shirt and trousers, and even his guitar were all, how should I put it.....? BLACK!!!
Deep, obsidian, lustrous black!!! Not your lacklustre, tepid, insipid wishy washy dull off-grey-black. This was proper, evil, brooding blacker than Vader's blackest thoughts black.
Good job Canon!
