Hi,

I was wondering if there was any way to do the
following?? I have red paper that I need to print some
white word art text onto ... If I change the background
in powerpoint so that I can see the white text, it will
try to print the background color - which I do not
want...

Thanx,

Denise Wallace
 
Not candid camera - sorry for dumb question. Just wanted
to see if their was any new printer technology in the
world that I did not know about (which would not take
much!!!) . I cannot let the printer print the red
background because of the paper I am using - it is a very
thin mulberry paper ... oh well, thought I would ask.
Thanx.
 
I re-read my response and feel I should apologize, it sounds like I was
being harsh and that was not what I intended. It was more a fun ha-ha sort
of a thing, than a mean thing.

Question was not dumb, really. There are many commercial white printing
processes, just not ones available for home style printers.

Have you considered using the mulberry paper as a mat or accent? There are
also several types of silver, gold, & white gel pens for people with neat
handwriting (not myself).

....And I'll admit that years ago during the advent of the common inkjet
printer, I initially wondered the same thing myself.

If you had an old inkjet printer around, that you wouldn't mind losing to an
experiment. I wonder if you could clean out one of the old cartridges and
fill it with thinned down white-out(c) or liquid paper(c). Might not be
bright white, but might be enough.

Ya know, in all seriousness, I could have asked the inventor of Liquid
Paper, William Mallow, if that were possible. We became friends for a few
years before his death in August of last year. The guy was nothing less than
a genius and a hoot to be around. If I was a tenacious entrepreneur, I could
have started a dozen new products based just on conversations with him where
he revealed many untapped inventions. Some just literally sat on shelves in
his lab.

Sorry, you just got me thinking about him again.

;-)
 
Yeah, but you could print WordArt with a line and no fill on red paper and
then use the White Out to create white ink. Okay, maybe not.
