Envoy 7640 all in one printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Envoy 7640 all in one printer will not print on black card stock paper. I wanted to save the black ink it takes to print the back ground on my picture / document All the lettering is gold and should stand out.  I can see a shadow of the printing but no color.

Hi @wickerdave,

 

I'd like to help!

 

Regular digital printing is not possible on dark paper - since "white" ink is usually the absence of ink 

However, you can get around this by printing a black background onto the paper and the white text over it.

 

To know the supported paperer size and type, you may refer to printer specifications 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
