What do i do?

The important thing is not to look like a copy.

But of course the fierce competitive people will tell you it HAS to be colored ink, with head letter, purple flowers seal and blessed by the pope, because some people are, frankly, trying to spread fear and insecurity now that the process is ending.

I am so glad our forum is not like that! nod

Blue ink isn't a reason to sweat. It's going to be okay.....
