How do I get white letters to appear on dark paper
Trying to use t-shirt transfers. I want to print white letters to show on
green shirts. The printer isn't recognizing that it should print when I change the font from black to white. |

Does your printer have white ink?

Your printer has four colours at it's disposal and none of them are white.. please read through the following article.. http://desktoppub.about.com/od/trans..._transfers.htm This is the part that will really interest you, but read all of the article anyway.. White Does Not Print In designing your artwork remember that WHITE does not print. The fabric will show through any parts of the design that are white. For example, if you print a white ghost on plaid fabric - you'll get a plaid ghost! Plan your design accordingly. As with any desktop publishing project, consider the background color when selecting colors for your designs.

How do I get white letters to appear on dark paper
The printer simply is incapable of doing what you want. There is no
commercially-available, desktop printer of my acquaintence that will print white on a coloured background. Dye sublimnation or hot wax printers are a possibility. When white is called for in usual printing, the printer simply prints nothing. No combination of the inks available in the printer's cartridges will blend to produce white. It is inexpensive to print white letters on a white background since no ink at all is used. ;-) If you want white, you will have to use a white shirt and specify a green background. This will actually print the background green (or whatever) so that the voids that are the letters will appear white. It is unlikely that the lettering will be "crisp". And lots of ink is used. A commercial jobber might take the green shirts and use a variation of a silk-screen process to yield what you want. Hope some of this is useful. Good luck.
