Ability to print white

I have a HP Officejet J4540.  Anyone know if I can print it in white by changing the color settings?  I would like to print white letters on dark purple paper.

Thanks, DonnaCD

The printer uses a subtractive method, it cannot print white on a dark background.  (The color lighter, it can be printed is no ink, which would be the color of the background.)  You need a printer with white ink.  I know not all printers currently available with this feature, I think that there was once an Alps printer that would print white.

Another option would be to print upside down, the purple background of printing on white paper.  Would we much ink and may not yield the results you want...

  • 2840 AIO: aio HP 2840 print white or yellow, fax and copy is in color

    The printer prints white or yellow. Fax and copy is without any problem and in color. What can be the François for this dysfunction between fax/copying and printing.

    I try to imagine the proper name for it, but this point that does not is the solenoid that engages the carousel in position.

    This solenoid holds the stationary carousel while you print to any given color and then frees him then the carousel can turn a quarter turn it is necessary to get to the next color.

    What happens is that when the carousel does not lock out of position toner cartridge derivatives and none of the toner transferred to the intermediate transfer belt. Sometimes you get yellow is the first color of the 4 it sets for an image.

    What actually happens is the piece of foam rubber that is located between the arms of the solenoid and the solenoid deteriorates and becomes sticky and arm sticks to him instead of the carousel of locking in position.

    To fix this you will need to disassemble the machine where you can remove the solenoid and remove the arm from the solenoid, it's pretty simple when you look at it. Then clean the tarry residue and replace it with a very thin pen, you can get them at a dollar store, if you buy the high quality pads they are way too thick and the solenoid valve will not work. You have to have something between the metal arm and the metal Center of the solenoid or the residual magnetism that has developed in the metal causes the two parts together.

    You can find the service manual for this machine to: feedroller.com

  • HP LaserJet 400 M401dn: M401dn not print white text on a black background

    Hello

    We do not print white text on a blackground on a M401dn. I am trying to print a Word document. Prints fine on other printers we have - Brother HL-2240dn, Ricoh Aficio C4501.

    When the work is submitted the HP printer prints a black block. There is no white text.

    Can someone help me solve this problem please?

    Thank you.

    After reviewing your samples in detail a bit more, I suspect that the problem may be associated with the size of the font you are selection (so it would affect black text on white background) rather than being something to do with the colors of text and background.

    With a number of recent models LaserJet Mnnn , a firmware issue has prevented use of the font with a size of 72 points or more.

    These appear to have been fixed with a new version of the firmware - see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers/M401dn-Firmware-Printing-issues/m-p/5008912

  • How to prepare an Illustrator file for printing white text on a black t-shirt?

    There is no graphics, just text. The finished product is going to be a white text on a red t-shirt.

    What are the steps of preparation of an Illustrator file for this purpose, and what should I do before sending it to the printer off?

    Thank you.

    I call or send your printer and him asking the same question. There are several ways to indicate a white ink, it would be good to know their preference. My guess is that they will ask you to provide a PDF file with black text and indicate somewhere what to print white ink. They might prefer a .eps file. An illustration of a white T-shirt red type in the desired location and size would also help ensure that you get what you want.

  • Ability to print duplex on HP Envy 5660 photos?

    "I am able to print double-sided regular 8.5x11" leaves, but not the two photos in the photo tray.

    Ideally, I would like to be able to do this automatically - in other words, I don't want to have to do it manually.

    If the 5660 can do, how? I always choose the box 'Double' and use my standard set 4 x 6 ", but I still get one side printed.

    If the 5660 cannot do, which HP printer will be?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP Forums.

    Unfortunately, the media photo that we have that there is no HP printer which can print photos at 2 sides, allows printing on one side.  Prniting on the other side will have poor print quality and can damage your printer.

    Hope that helps!
