I've been printing my own business cards using Avery Design Pro on my iMac. Works fine printing onto A4 card stock, but it's a pain having to guillotine them.

I thought I'd take advantage of the cheap deals on business card printing, but I want to keep my existing design, which I can export in pdf format.
It's a monochrome file, as I normally just print onto coloured stock.

Unfortunately the 4 different card printers that I've tried so far will only print a supplied image onto white stock, and I want black text on a pale blue background.

Any recommendations for a card printer that will use coloured stock, or allow me to change the white parts of a pdf file to pale blue?
Alternatively, how do I edit a pdf file to be black on pale blue without a design program?

If the colours are solid it should be a moment's work in Photoshop to select the b/g, make it light blue and resave as PDF. PM me if you'd like me to have go.
