Printing B&W on color paper?

Amtekoth · 06-13-2006, 10:19 AM

I'm not really sure how to do this. A company wants to print episodes of Lab Bratz in their newsletter, which is on light blue paper. The image has to be B&W lineart. I've never done this before, so this is probably a dumb question, but how do I do this in a way that it doesn't try to print whitespace (word balloons)?

I use Illustrator CS and Photoshop CS, but I'm not anywhere as skilled as many of the folks around here.

Thanks for any advice,

Ed

Printers are designed to assume you're printing on white paper, so any space that's pure white will get no ink on it. Shouldn't be a problem.
