Solution

Lampblack is a black coloured pigment that is produced by burning oil, usually coal-tar creosote, in shallow pans, in a furnace with the draft regulated to give a heavy smoke cloud.
Lampblack is used as a black pigment in cement, ceramics, inks, linoleum, crayons, shoe polishes, and oil paints.
The pigment is very stable as are all carbon blacks, it is light and compatible with all other pigments.
Thus, lamp black is used in making shoe polish and printer's ink.
