That's a really good point. In fact, if you're using an offset litho 
print process (rather than, say, a toner based process) colour halftoned 
text, especially if it's not composed of just one colour ink, can be 
hard to read, and may need to be printed at larger type sizes than black 
text needs to be. So it's not even just an issue of cost.
