    Theres a setting in indesign/illustrator to display rich black (ie any black that is comprised of more that one colour) as proper black and to display 100%K as a kind of gray. If its set to 100 then it'll print with full black but it may look a little washed out.

    For a stronger black mix it with another colour, the size of your tye will determine how you can mix it, ie if its smaller than 8pt reversing out of the black you probably don't want to go more than 2 plates, black + maybe 50% cyan, however if the type is bigger you could go a third plate and make it 100K 50C 50M or something similar.
