Hello,

I would like to print white text on red paper, but in Word, white appears as a transparent color and therefore doesn't print anything. Do you have a solution or do I need to go to a printer?

Thank you
Laetitia

Or you can ask a printer; some know how to print with white covering.

Hello, it is only possible to obtain white ink through screen printing, so a special workshop with special inks is required...

  Hello again,
  
  The purpose of my message wasn't just to make you laugh! ;)
  
  You won't be able to print white on colored paper, simply because no printer has white ink!!!! The inks are: black, cyan, magenta, yellow. With that, you can't make white!
  
  The only solution is to use a red background and white characters, and print on white paper!!! And hello to the ink cartridge bill!

  By the way, I just tested white on a red background with Word, it prints very well. I don't understand why you can't get it to work. Did you make sure to select white in the font color options?

A friend just told me that she made her invitations like that, she had a background and printed in white on top, do you think it could come from the printer?

  She can only print in white if she has a white ink cartridge; otherwise, it is enough to print a JPEG version of the document, and the white writing will actually be unprinted paper.

lol oh yes, you really tried the red sheet in the printer, okay I understand better lol
lol super mega tough on the ink level, but with a retouching software, you should manage with a color palette of whites, good luck

m@rina, printers don't have white ink, but they do have yellow, magenta, and cyan colors, and when you mix them, it creates white, so we can still say that printers can print in white.

  Hello Gregos,
  
  I think you're mistaken (actually, I'm sure... ;-) )
  It's red, green, and blue that make white. And that's in additive synthesis, like on screens and projectors.
  In printing, it works through subtractive synthesis; the more inks you mix, the darker it gets.
  And yellow, magenta, and cyan make black.

Hi, do you have any editing software or Paint GIMP? That could help you by trying to tone down the white.
