All depends... If litho printing then there is black and there is rich black. Generally speaking pantone black is a little on the grey side and if you want it to be deeper you would use a 'shiner' to enrich the colour. This is achieved by adding a tint of say 40% cyan to the pantone black so that you print both colours at the same time to give a more rich colour. If you were to print all four colours 100% you would end up with a muddy mess for sure. Hope that helps?

Is it just 100K (black in photoshop) or is it 100%C, 100%Y, 100%M and 100%K. Can you advise. Colour look sketchy on pdf and pdf is perfect proofing tool that colour printouts can over look. Alma.
