Judging by eye I'd say you want your text to be 0/0/0/100 (or if your printer actually specifies a rich black, then those values) and your ornaments to be 0/0/0/40.Ģ. A lot of large-format printers (sign folks, mainly) are dumb as rocks and have horrible workflows and just throw customer files at their grand-format digital inkjet printers without even checking to see if there's going to be a problem.
