Black Ink Printing Update

April 18th, 2012

Black Ink 1.5 is now available on the Mac App Store and directly from the Red Sweater Store. This is a free update for licensed Black Ink customers.

I focused again on puzzle printing improvements for this update. Significantly, Black Ink now supports an option to position the puzzle grid on the bottom-left or bottom-right of the page. This is a more natural solving position for many people, because it allows you to keep more of the clues visible while writing answers into the grid.

Here’s a taste of how the printing configuration and preview panel looks in 1.5:

Complete list of changes:

  • Support new options for printing puzzle grid at the bottom of the page
  • Cleaner printing layout for fit-on-one-sheet printing
  • Improve speed of printing puzzles
