White text on black background on CMYK

[Ronnie Adamowicz]

Hi everyone,

I'm working in a CMYK space ...I've got a text box with the background
filled as black, and the text is white. When I try and print it, I can't see
the text! It's all black.

any ideas?

Check that you have (a) the order is correct (white in front of the black)
and (b) you haven't made the white into overprint. (check the trapping
info).

White is not a color. It is 0% black. You can't print 0 on top of 100 and
get zero...they add up to 100.

Go to color schemes and click on the first color, black
and white. DRAWBACK: You cannot create a text box
within a text box. i.e. the same text box has to contain
all the text because you would be writing black on black.
