    Default How do I make text 100% black rather than CMYK black at PDF export?

    I am encountering a problem with the printer for the documents I've prepared with the Printer's Mark PDF export.

    Here's a quote by the printer with the particulars:

    With regards to the text, I think it might be that you've got your text set to use the 'registration' colour (C:100 M:100 Y:100 K:100) rather than the 'black' colour (C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:100). Registration over-saturates the paper with ink, losing precision especially in text. The problem should be fixed if you can change all paragraph styles to use 'black'.

    I didn't see any function in the File/Printer Settings dialogue box to force black to stay 100%.

    Is there a way I can ensure I get this right?

    Edit: I found some old threads discussing this problem - I will read up on it and see if I can fix it referring to them. Thx.

    Select the text and apply the black (Colour gallery - Pantone process coated).
    Black at the bottom right of the palette - RGB color.

    Another solution:
    use 100%k black only plus overprint, see attached file
