Type that is to be reversed out of two or more overprinting colors should be no less than 14 point. Colored type created by overprinting the process colors should be no less than 14 point.
>overprinted type
Type should not be overprinted in areas exceeding 30% screen tint value in order to provide contrast between the text and the background.

All black type should be 100% black ink, not rich black. Rich black is created by combining CMYK values.
