Printing white on black

[NealV]

Does anyone know how to print or copy and paste a drawing with white lines, so it will show up against a black background? I am trying to plot white lines or copy a drawing with white lines to display on a black background in Illustrator.

Thanks
Neal

sure, change the color you want "white" to Color 255. Anything you want printed as "black" is Color 7. Just make sure and use the DRAWORDER command to place the Color 255 object on top of the Color 7 object.

That will only work if your plotter is set to "lines overwrite" instead of "lines merge". If you want to print a small sheet, many copiers have the option to invert colors. Just print normally, then copy it inverted to get white on black.
