I did not think it would be such a difficult thing to find.

If you have a printer you can make it yourself! (?) But seriously, most ink from standard printers will not be visible on black paper. If you want black, print it, or resort to screen printing. But maybe I have misunderstood the question.

most of the works that i create seem to look better ona black background.

In that case it would be logical to incorporate the black background in your work. In photoshop, that can be a background layer, in other programs (for instance Painter) that could be the paper color. As I said, printer inks do not remain visibile on black paper (when you print on, for instance, yellow paper, that color will mix with the colors of your work too), so that is different from crayons and pencils. Have fun!

As Hoofdcommissaris said, printer inks are transparent so you can get lotsa different colors from so few ink tanks. This is the subtractive color principle -- above's a link that explains it. CRTs use additive color; here's a link that describes *that*: http://www.bway.net/~jscruggs/add.html BTW, this is just the tip of the color iceberg! :) - Bill
