Question MAking custom gauge overlay...one prob w/in

I read an article from the projecttransam page on making cheap gauge overlays on your computer. My problem is creating the color white for the numbers on the speedo, etc. I'm making a carbon fiber pattern....but my printer will not print "white" (the overlay I'm making is on a transparency film.) ANyhow, for those who've created their own gauges.....how do I solve this prob. I've thought of ightly spraying the back of the overlay with white paint to get the white color, but I'm sure there is a better way.....how else can they make white faced gauges?!

There's no way to get your printer to print white. No white ink Also, I don't believe that anyone has made any speedometer gauges, but i'm not sure about that.

I've made speedo gauges but I didnt use transparency paper. I just used regular photo paper. Click the interior link in my sig to see pictures.
