Hi Forum,
I would like to hear your general thoughts and advice on using 'black' in any design destined for litho offset print...
If i were to create a book cover, back page to be black, to be printed on 250gsm coated stock, personally i would use a traditional method of 40% cyan + 100% black,
What benefit or risk is associated with using a rich black, say 60C, 50M, 50Y, 100K ?
The obvious risks to me are total ink coverage and dying time, registration for text...obviously trapping - spread in CMY - fixes that issue...
Would you ever advocate the use of rich black in CMYK ?
Appreciate any feedback,
Cheers,
N.
