"what the fuck is a magenta?" He replied.

Fun fact! Magenta wasn't actually invented until over 400 years later

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I’m so old, I remember when red wasn’t invented yet.

Fun fact, “orange” was first used as a colour in the sixteenth century and prior to that many orange-coloured objects were referred to as red.

I remember hearing that and wondering if they called the fruit reds.

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

What was the fruit called?

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 10 months ago

The colour was named after the fruit actually, originally people said "orange-coloured" then just shortened that to "orange"

"Fuck you, low on cyan" Has lived rent free in my head since the day i first saw that comic.

Maybe printer manufacturers are roleplaying as a pigment merchant from the 14th century.

That would explain the price and apparent scarcity.

But lo, I needeth it not for this tax form. I needeth only black. Why can you not simply print using the black ink?

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

If you're using a brother printer you can just cover the ink "window" on the empty cartridge with black electrical tape. The printer will yell at you for using 3rd party ink, but after that it will let you print.

What do ya mean I'm out of black ink? Can't you combine all the colors to create black?

[-] Copythis@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

This is why some copiers won't work if they run out of a color.

Some models use all colors to make a deeper black.
