Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Inkjet inks are not very opaque, meaning the some of the paper color will show through the printing, so, darker color inks will work better!. Definetly, don't try printing on dark paper!. Even pure yellow ink does not show up well on white paper, so I wouldn't recommend it on ANY colored paper!. If you want to experiment by trying out an ink of a similar color to the paper, make sure the paper is VERY light, such as a VERY light blue, green, pink, or such!. Then, select a VERY dark tone of the ink color, such as a VERY dark blue, green, red or other!. You may even try outlining the text, (depending on the software you use) to make it stand out!. However, I still wouldn't try it that way, but, rather, print on white paper with a selection of colored inks to make each person't chart stand out!. If you insist on colored paper (and that is YOUR choice, as designer), I'd stick to black titles and use some dark color inks for the chart's details!.Www@QuestionHome@Com there is paper that is tinted with color, and there is colored art construction paper, the art paper may not be suitable for printing on, depending on type of printer, the regular tinted printer paper is ok to use, and note there is no white ink option, so you could use darker colors to print with, of you wanted more contrasting colors use color wheel chart to fine opposite color, blue ~ orange / yellow option yellow~ purple / green option green~ red / yellow option red~ green / pink option Color Calculator http://dev!.sessions!.edu/ilu/ilu_1!.html ColorBlender online color matching toolbox http://colorblender!.com/ !.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
