SUMMARY
Inverting colors in PowerPoint slides can significantly reduce ink usage when printing, especially for slides with dark backgrounds and colorful text. While modifying the theme allows for changing the global background color, it does not address individual colored objects. A practical solution involves using the "Format Background" feature to set a white background and adjusting text and object colors manually. For a more automated approach, third-party tools or scripts may be necessary to invert colors across all slides efficiently.
