Red ink usually indicates a bill is a United States Note, a form of paper money issued directly by the government instead of by the Federal Reserve System.

During the 20th century US Notes only made up a small fraction of bills in circulation. They had similar designs to and were completely equivalent to green-seal Federal Reserve Notes, so production was discontinued in the late 1960s to save on printing and distribution costs.

It depends on what you mean by "odd". Among modern paper money first introduced in 1928, the only unusual bills were in the 1935-A series.

When a Pastor signs a tribunal document in red ink does this indicate anything outside of the fact that he was not willing to locate a black ink pen Church Roman Catholic?

I think that you see through to the underlying problem. To the best of my knowledge there is nothing special about red ink in signing a tribunal document. There is a special use of red ink in producing liturgical books, and in this case it is called "Rubrics" which are the instructions on what to do while you are pronouncing the words in black. They got their name "Rubric" from the red ink with which they were printed. But this has absolutely nothing to do with tribunal documents.

How can you print a 1099 tax form free?

You can't. The 1099 forms have a special red-ink that the IRS uses for scanning. If you download any of the 1099-forms from the web, they say:Do not file copy A downloaded from this website. The official printed version of this IRS form is scannable, but the online version of it, printed from this website, is not. A penalty may be imposed for filing forms that can't be scanned. You can't download and use Copy A even if your printer prints in red-ink. The IRS uses a special red-ink to scan just the data.
