Suppose I have some text which is displayed over an image or some other printable colours. Is it possible to force this text to white when printing? The default behaviour is to force white to black or grey in most browsers. This clearly makes sense when you are printing text in containers with background colours/images which are removed, but doesn't make sense to force the text in the case where you are overlaying text on images.
I should probably mention that I am quite aware of the print stylesheet, it just so happens that regardless of setting the font colour, in IE/chrome/firefox, the font does not appear white regardless. It ends up black or grey depending on the browser. Please show an example of white text over an image if you think it's actually possible.
To illustrate see:
I personally don't think it's possible due to the way printing works. It's pretty annoying none-the-less.
