No, because it would be a waste of ink. Fortunately monitors don't have this problem.
With good reason. If I read white on black for more than 5 minutes, whenever I look away there are negative lines floating across my vision.
I don't agree that it's good reasoning, and indeed most (or all?) early monitors used to be green/amber/white-on-black because it's easier on the eyes.
It's not a common problem I know but I have countless floaters swooshing around in my vision so for me staring at a mostly white screen all day is absolutely horrible and a great way to give myself eye strain.

If they wanted to, how would they?
No, they do not.
