I need help to find out if there is a way to print from my hp psc 750 xi onto black paper, preferably, I want to print in a grey font to give a silver look. It appears that the ink is absorbed into the paper. While I can see an imprint of what is to be printed, it appears as black on black. How can I make the ink show up? Changing the color does not seem to matter. Is it possible to print from an inkjet printer onto black paper?

Thanks for your help.
 
The ink in liquid ink printers is transparent and not a pigment based ink (Small solid particals)
so normally it uses the white color of the paper to reflect the light back to the eye.
If you use black paper all of the light is absorbed by the paper
To print on Black paper you need pigment based ink like a color laser printer uses
