As a follow-up to the Stroke observation above, and a cautionary note about overprints...
If a 4/C object (A) is set to overprint another 4/C object (B), the CMYK values in Object A can override the CMYK values in Object B. For example, if Object B has a magenta value of 50%, and Object A has magenta set at 40%, the overlap won't look like 90% magenta (like Multiply would lead you to believe); the net overprint result is 40% magenta when printed.
This is why it's imperative to know how each behave and when it makes sense to use them. Sadly I learned this lesson...on press.
- exactly, because printing more magenta on top of magenta results only in magentamonospaced
