3d model conceptual view - how can I make my text display properly?

Hi,

 

I am using AutoCAD 2014 and trying to get started with 3D modeling.  I have created a 3D model by using the Revolve command to sweep a 2D path around an axis.  My 3D model looks sort of like a barbell - a narrow shaft in the middle with two cylindrical weights on each side.  I wanted to put some text on the sides of the weights.  I used the DTEXT command and I made sure the Z coordinate for my text is not "behind" the weight I am trying to label.  I have an Isometric view setup for my 3D model with the Visual Style set to 'Conceptual'.  In this view, my text is "outlined" in the color corresponding to the layer I placed the text on, but it is "filled" with a darker shade.  I can read the text ok on my computer screen, but when I print to my monochrome printer, it is very difficult to read.  I'd like to find out if/how I can make my text appear in the 'Conceptual' Visual Style with the same color for its outline and its fill.  For this particular drawing, I would like these both to be white.

 

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Paul
