Printing/printer question-help!

Does a computer come with WHITE ink? I tried printing white ink on a colored paper and nothing?
Do you have to buy it seperatly?

I have an HP photo printer/scanner and it has a seperate black cartridge and color one?

Anyone know?

TIA!

I believe you need to use a text block with a colored backround and set the text to white.

I honestly don't think it's possible to print in white ink. I just googled the topic to find out, and found one article for professionals about printing in white on dark paper. That article explained that it was VERY difficult to do, and not recommended. This article was geared to people in the graphic design field and was telling them how to mix their own ink, so I gathered that for the rest of us, it's pretty much impossible.

Thanks! I saw it done on a professional invite site and wanted to see if I could do it myself versus spending the money...
Thanks again
