It's a little difficult with no context, but I think you're referring to "being in the black" or "making a profit", as opposed to "being in the red" or "operating at a loss". In older times when business ledgers and statements were written by hand in ink, losses or negative numbers were written in red ink (to draw attention to them) and everything else was written in the standard black ink.

If I understand your question, then Black Ink is a metaphor used to indicated having made a profit as opposed to Red Ink which means having lost money.

out of context it means "ink that is black". If you have an instance of this being used in any other way, it may help if you explain.
