    Odds are, you won't see significant cost savings by choosing process 100% black vs. 4-color black. And in the end, your black will print richer and keep up with the other color on the page.

    The only time when process black is advantageous is if you are printing black text without much color near it on the page. Don't get me wrong—that is a cost savings, but make sure your job requires that kind of savings before approaching it.

    • I don't ever make black text a 4-color black unless it's quite large, like in a header or such.duckofrubber
