This is the closest forum to what I need, so if it's the wrong place, my apologies.

I'm printing ID cards with barcodes, and have usually printed on white cards with no problem. This year I had the bright idea to use colored cards (for class identification), so I purchased a deep green and a deep royal blue set of cards. I never thought about the mostly transparent 'ink' not showing up on the darker cards. I know I can add a white label to the card for the barcode, but I'm afraid the students will just peel those off. Anyone have any other ideas? Are there other types of ink cartridges to use?
