Printer Wont print white text?

Question

I have black paper in my printer and i need it to print text in white can someone help me?

Answer 1

Most standard household printers will NOT print white, since they are usually just inkjets with color and black cartridges. Even if you have a color cartridge, this won't help you since color cartridges are just filled with red/blue/yellow and mix those colors to get what you asked it to print. You can't get white from a color cartridge because... think about it, can you get white from mixing red with blue, red with yellow, yellow with blue, etc?



There are some printers that will print white; however they are usually for industrial purposes. If you really need to print white font, you can probably take your file to a shop that offers printing services and get them to print it for you at a fee.

Answer 2

You need a color printer.



Printers that only have black ink can only print in black...



Update:



If you have a color printer, highlight the text you want toto print as white, change your font to white and try printing. Note that you won't be able to see the text on your screen after it is white until you highlight it or change the color to something different.



Edit: Apparently you do not have white ink in your printer. Without white ink, it will not print in white. My printer requires 8 cartridges, each one a different color. One is white so I guess that is why it works for me.

Answer 3

Printers can't make white ink.





Nothing you do or try is going to result in you getting a white printer.



The white in most prints is caused by the absence of ink on a white page.

Answer 4

mdigitale is pulling your leg. Printers are designed with the implicit assumption that they are working on white paper. They assume that the paper is white and apply colour anywhere that it needs to to make it non-white. If you are using paper that is not white then is can't print anything white since there is no white ink with which to do that.
