Which one do you use when signing a document? or even in writing do you still use that too?
I use black pen everyday. I only use blue pen when no black pen is around. They say when signing a document you must use a Blue pen to sign above your name, it's the right color. But I know this applies to other countries specially in USA. I don't know in your country do you use blue or black pen when signing?
Please do share...thanks! :)

I prefer dark blue pens... gel ink, medium point, if you want to get more precise. With ALL my writing, not just when signing my name. :)
I think the color restriction for blue is simply to easily tell the signature is original compared to the black print.

Yeah..you have a point there...to add color to your life...not just blue or black. Is ok with you peers or teacher or whoever is asking from you documents that you use neither blue or black? Coz some don't accept that colors specially in offices.

When I was in high school I use either black and blue. But when i enter college I use only black pen for our school prefer the black one. I think blue pen is not formal especially on important documents. To play safe it would be better to use black pen. So until now I used to use black pen no more blue pen anymore...

Most fax documents with blue ink is not readable maybe because the ink of a fax machine is black. thanks! ;)

I will prefer to use blue pen to write or sign. In school, i always use blue pen. I can see better with blue pen. Black color is kinda hard for me to see the content since the content is mostly in black too. Blue is also my favorite color. ;)

Generally U I use black pen as if U want to make photocopy black gets better. But some cases they dont allow black as its hard to realize the black is original or phtocopy. So if they dont mention I use black for my convenience but if they told already then I use blue for their convenience.
