I suggest that you print a very light gray to simulate white... something along the lines of C3 Y2 M2 K0 which translates to approximately equal 148 of R, G and B. Depending upon your printer and ink and paper surface, that number may change.

normfb Oct 29, 2014 11:21 AM (in response to rn254)One thing more, in the event that you are considering offset lithography, the lithographer, on occasion, is asked to print white ink on colored paper stock. In that case, since a single litho ink film is only 1 to 2 microns in thickness, it usually takes two or more overprints of white to hide the paper color. Moreover, when a simulated white panel is requested on white coated stock, it is not unusual to print the panel in gloss or dull varnish so that the difference in shine creates the panel.
