Is black ink darker than blue on screen?

Yes. Black uses maximum stroke contrast—check preview zoom before downloading.

Can I use black on ruled paper?

Absolutely. Switch paper to ruled if lines are required despite black ink.

Does black ink smudge in PDF?

PDF output is dry ink simulation—no physical smudge. Printer smudge depends on your hardware.

Red ink for corrections?

Likhly supports red ink in settings for emphasis—use black for main body text.

Formal bundle pricing?

Same as other pages: preview free, bundles from ₹39, sized by the words you write.
