Evangeline,
I don't think you can do that. Maybe print on white paper and make the
background of the slide black.
But hey, I have been known to be wrong, so maybe someone else will have
better ideas.

No, Luc, you are correct.

The white areas on 99.998% of all inkjet/laser printers is simply the
absence of applied colored inks. The printers assume white paper and let it
"show thru" to make white print. If you look at the colors in your inkjet
cartridges, you will see black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Mixing these 4
colors on white paper can make any color -- to make white, nothing is
applied to the paper.

If you have to have black paper, you will probably need to go with a more
professional offset type printing process that uses a white ink.

I have heard of, but never used, ink jet cartridges that have white ink in
them. These would have to lay down a fairly thick layer of white to hide
the black paper, so I don't know how effective they would be, but feel free
to look for them. They may only be a myth.
