How to print black without too much "black"

[alexandereci]

I'm printing an ebook, and for some reasons, the author decided to go with a "white text on black background" format for some tables included in the book. Printing the ebook on NORMAL printer settings gives me a very wet page, one that curls due to the insane amount of ink (I print on both sides of the page). I'm using a Canon iP1200 with a 80gsm (80gm2, or subs 30) white 8.5x11 inch paper.

Is there any way to make the printer squirt "less" ink but still make it black? Or gray, I don't care. I just don't want my paper to curl.

I know that PDF's you can click 'Edit' and change the document colours.

How do I do that?

Open the PDF, click 'edit' then 'preferences'.

Would you mind if I send you a page and you show me how to "edit" this thing? I'm all thumbs at this one.

Open the pdf file, click 'edit', click 'preferences' , use 'custom color' and pick your page and text colours.
