2Take your type layer, duplicate it 3 times, change the hue of each with a colorize tool. (nitpicky trivia: this would likely never happen in real life as you wouldn't use cyan, magenta and yellow overprinting to create Black. You'd just use black ink.)– DA01Mar 13, 2014 at 15:15

You can do this in Illustrator by simply stacking fills and adjusting them via the Appearance Panel.
The Transform
effect for each fill, simply moves the fill vertically so they are off-center.
That's an example of the subtractive color synthesis.
In illustrator you can do that by using a subtractive blend mode like multiply in the transparency panel:
To prove the concept I'm using 3 text elements filled with cyan, magenta and yellow. When all the layers overlap, they subtract from each other resulting in black
