    that's bad advice, you don't use process blacks on small copy. It can end up giving you registration problems.

    as MIJA said.. all these CMYK recommendations are bad advice in this situation.

    only use 100% black for small text and elements, otherwise it'll look fuzzy and lose its crisp edges.

    instead, if you are laying it over a colored background, make sure to select "overprint"... then it will print the black ink on top of the color behind it, and not knock out the white space behind.
