SILLY question but I am newer to the printing process:
Item: Magazine (web offset printing)
they say to not use 4/C Black in text or Ads unless clearly marked...
if I have a black box as a frame do I use the CMYK 60/40/40/100 mix?
If I use the black that already is in my program (K100) (InDesign...I use Corel for the graphics) will it look like dark black?

Have you cahnged your InDesign default black? IF not it uses a dense black of CMYK 100 each.
CMYK build in InDesign and Corel must match.
Hi,
For Full Color Offset Printing and If you want Deep Rich Black use C60, M40, Y40 K100. If you use just K100, your printing product will come out Gray-ish. If you are using 'Digital Printing", according to some of the Posts in this Thread, all you need is K100.

Correct. Never use more than one tint on black text or outlines. Is only for a background or a big size object

if it's not necessary, don't use rich black for outlines.

same color must look identical no matter the program. But if you place your CorelDRAW drawing as EPS what you see is a thumbnail or preview, but if it's the same percentage must be printed identical
