That’s cause they don’t sell them this way

I imagine white ink that's actually opaque enough to stand out against black paper is more expensive than garden variety black ink. Not to mention the extra step of having to dye the paper black.

I had a journal in high school that was all black, with black pages and came with a silver pen to contrast with the black. Sickest journal I ever had.

Black on white is better for reflected light, white on black is better for direct light.

My niece has a form of dyslexia, these types of books are easier for her to read.

That's what we used to use to prevent game piracy.

Good luck photocopying glossy black ink on a matt black background.

books don't fucking glow alright?

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I would if I could. Although I have never seen a physical black page with white letters so perhaps it would be more difficult to read, who knows

That is indeed pretty sick. For some reason it reminds me of that book that you can buy pre-destroyed, Bats Of The Republic maybe?
