Printing white text on colored paper

OUCH!

You know very well how to get booted out of a forum. ;)

Ah -

so thats how you get kicked out of here. Gosh. I wish I would of known sooner.

;o)

Buko,

Of course not -- although Wausau is a legitimate paper mill, there's a zillion brands out there, and I'm aware the copy in Ciana's post is nothing more than cut-'n'-paste marketing hype.

Hmmmm...just reread her Wausau post and I'm taking a tougher position now. I'm killing it.

At this point, we monitor Ciana's posts. She's been warned. If spamming/advertising happens again, she goes away.

Sorry it has nothing to do with the topic Neil. You don't need that brand of paper to print opaque white ink.

Ciana,

Your commercial/advertising links are removed. It is against forum policy.

Buko,

If WR wants to overprint a previously printed document with white ink, then offset litho, letterpress, or silkscreen (preferably) by a legitimate printer would be the way to go. Or have rubdown decals or transfers prepared if the quantity is small.

But WR is not clear about the scenario.

Thank you for all the responses. All of these methods I was aware of but for some reason I kept thinking I "should" be able to print white text. What I ended up doing was creating a "white box" area and filling in that with the information I wanted.

FYI, I am creating some band posters and wanted to use a commercial printer to print the generic poster and then have a way of adding my own text about the venue. (For small batches only)

Thanks again,

Robert

WR wanted to put white text on a colored background and there is a fairly easy way to do it using Photoshop or Photo Elements 6.

there is no easy way to do this it involves having a third party lay opaque white ink on the colored paper. It can not be done on an inkjet. Also it can't be done with Elements which is not made for setting up print documents.
