How do I print white text when the document page is white?
I am printing business cards on preprinted colored stock. I want white text
on the cards, but I cannot print white text when the document page is white. Only when I have a background color. I do not want to print the background color over the preprinted card background, but when I do not print the background color, the white text will not print either. How can I print white text on colored paper when the Word 2003 document background is white? |

You can only print in white with specialised ink and equipment; normal
printers do not have white ink. When you print the background colour on white paper you are still not using white ink, it is just the white background showing through - if you do it on coloured stock the colour of the stock will show through instead. -- Enjoy, Tony "MichaelMiller1556" wrote in message ...

An ordinary color printer has 3 (cyan, magenta, yellow) or 4 (+black) colors only to print. There is no white color. To achieve a white font, you really would have to print the surrounding colors on white paper (or, as in your case, you might get away with a very light grey font color). Professional printers might have additional spot colors, and I presume one of those can be white. But I'd be surprised to see this in a typical (and payable) home or even office printer. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Just another perspective to affirm the posts from Tony & Robert - it may
help to think in terms of choosing white as a color the equivalent of specifying "put no ink here" :-) -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "MichaelMiller1556" wrote in message ...

There is at least one manufacturer of domestic printers who does a white ink cartridge ( see http://www.colourwise.co.uk/11415/Ok..._Cartridge.htm) If you could find a compatible cartridge for your printer, replace your black cartridge with the white one and print black text - which will come out white. Not great for document printing, but should be fine for business cards and transparencies or OHP slides. -- Sandra Williams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sandra Williams's Profile: http://www.officehelp.in/member.php?userid=6085 View this thread: http://www.officehelp.in/showthread.php?t=1319828 Posted from - http://www.officehelp.in |
