When creating a print project with large areas of black ink it is ideal to create a rich black or super black. This makes it easier for the printer and the final result is a darker rich black which looks better than black alone. To create a rich black is easy – create a new colour swatch and add 100% black and 40% Cyan (note: this is not to be made as a spot colour). Do not make a colour swatch with 100% black, 100% cyan, 100% magenta and 100% yellow as this creates a lot of problems for the printer and would have to be corrected by customer. Note: The rich black can only work if you are printing with a minimum of 2 colours including black.
