Mylar paper tape has never come in black, as far as I know.
Black paper tape was sold for use with photoelectric paper tape readers
like HP's, which work, sometimes
with yellow paper (until any oil get on the tape anyway). But the black
stuff makes even a sloppy optical
reader work great, and it does not kill the edges on your punch like
Mylar will do.
