When I use white in a drawing (e.g. rgb 255,255,255) and print it, black is printed instead.
If I use "nearly white" (e.g. rgb 254,25,255), then it is printed correctly.
How do I do if I want to use white in drawings?
Thanks

Using WHITE when printing
Moderator: andrew
OK, but the "white" is substituted even if the "black/white-mode" is off!?!
The reason for my need is that it was the easiest way I found to, for example "drill a hole" on an area.
I use QCAD for drawing templates for etching.
In some views, parts of a detail needs to be covered with white, where on other views it should be visible. Sometimes its a little hard to divide that part into different layers to control visibility in different situations.
Perhaps some kind of AND/OR/XOR function would be usable for that...
But the easiest way would be to allow white (or "backgound color"...) in printing.
At the moment using "nearly white" works fairly well.

Ok, perhaps that could be made optional - or besides the color "black/white", there could also be "true black" and "true white"?andrew wrote:Black / white means that everything is printed in black (on white paper) as opposed to color or grayscale.andersb wrote:OK, but the "white" is substituted even if the "black/white-mode" is off!?!
Or is there a way I could use that is better for my needs?
