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?
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.

Well... not always. In the offset world there are many things to consider:
I personally wouldn't assign color to all separations for a rich black, only to 2. The reason: registration problems and fuzzy text are potentially new problems when using 4 inks to construct a black.
