How to Print White Onto Black Paper (5 Steps)

1. Decide what computer program you are going to use to format your document. If it's something complex, such as a photo illustration or layout, it may be best to use a program similar to Adobe Photoshop or InDesign. If it's something simple, the basic Windows Paint will do the trick. You need a program that will allow you to fill the background of the page.
2. Open the computer program. Use the 'Fill' option to create the black background. Choose 100 percent black as the fill color. In Paint, for instance, click 'Color 2,' and select black from the color palette. Click the paint bucket icon to fill the page. If you are using InDesign or a similar layout program, draw a box that covers the page and fill it with black.
3. Select white as your foreground color. Begin typing to create white text. If you already have text in your document, simply select it to make it white.
4. Feed the paper into your printer. You can print on black paper, or just use regular white paper. It won't matter, since you have to print the black background anyway. Connect your printer to the computer.
5. Choose 'Print' to print the document.
