    It all depends on the color you select. For example, if you overprint yellow text with magenta you get red text. It's really hard to approximate in a comp (although sometimes using multiply in Illustrator gives you a good idea). Ink draw downs will do the trick though. Ask your printer to do draw downs of the colors you have chosen so you can judge the overprint effect. The charge is nominal in comparison to a botched print run.
