So all that text you see right there <<< that's actually the white paper peeking through.Īh ha.tricked you printer - and that's my hack to print white text on a black background. Am I making any sense here? Yeah, I didn't think so.Īnyway, what I realized was.if I printed this same black background with white font on white paper, the white text would actually show up as negative space and thus the white paper would shine through all that black ink.
Where the text was supposed to be I could actually see it was negative space - in other words I could see the actual paper instead of ink for the font. That's when I noticed there looked like a black square on the black paper. I tried this on black construction paper and the paper looked like nothing had been printed on it - even though I had selected white text. Stretch black sqaure to fit the full page (As you know by now.I am a sucker for PowerPoint.) Instead of MS Word so you can more easily manipulate the shapes and text. (Wait til I tell you the other life hacks she shared!) To easily make the black square in the background try using a program like Powerpoint or PhotoShop My neighbor stopped over, saw my distress, and suggested putting aīlack square behind the white text in the word processing program I was So how to print white text on a black background.This had me scratching my head and running around like a mad woman as time was running out. You can't just stick a black piece of paper (or any other non-white sheet of paper) into the printer and get white text by selecting white or even a shade of near-white for your text. But if you've ever tried to print white font you know it's not actually as simple as it seems like it should be. What I wanted to do was print out a document that looked like a blackboard with white chalkboard font. So this isn't so much a DIY project as much as it is a tip and trick that I learned today as I was attempting to make a DIY Father's Day gift for my husband.
