I'm starting off with a transparent BG, I'm saving the file as a png, and I'm writing in only #FFFFFF white with a drop shadow. I can see it on preview, but when I use color paper, the letters turn out transparent with the slight outline provided by the drop shadow. I can get any other color I want, but why isn't white showing up and how can I generate it?

Thanks for any help....

Unless you have white toner in your printer, you may have to print the colored bkgd on white paper.

Normally, that would be a very fine fix, but my problem is that I need to print the name of my company on clear labels and stick them on dark blue 3 ring binders. I need the blue to show through, ergo the clear labels.

As far as I know, the ONLY printer that has a white print cartridge is the Alpine. If you don't have white ink, it can't print white.
