Minimum stroke weight on Black only text?

[Gregg]

Are there issues when using a very thin stroke on black text. Both the stroke and fill would be 100K and set to overprint.

I looked at some PDFs, in Wireframe mode, and couldn't see anything that appeared to be problematic, but I am also not the one creating plates, so I figured it was worth checking.

Any sort of industry standard minimum stroke weight?

Depends on your type size and intricacy . . strokes have a tendency to fill in e, o, a, z, c, b, etc . . . if you don't get tooo carried away it will work - personally I prefer to keep the type designers original typeforms . . . but thats just me . . ..

Is the text being converted to outlines after the stroke is applied? I've seen fonts converted to outlines render two different objects on top of each other one for the stroke, one for the fill. Sometimes the outline will be inconsistent leading to some very strange behaviors.
