Guidelines for Black
  • For a regular black text, we recommend using 100% black ( 0C / 0M / 0Y / 100K )
  • If you have a solid black larger than two square inches, we recommend using a “rich black” to achieve a darker and more uniform color.
  • Rich black color should be built of 60C / 60M / 60T / 100K
