  your illy is set to simulate rich black in cmyk docs. your 2 rich blacks are so oversaturated they probably just convert to the same rgb. try comparing to just 100K.

  change your document color mode to rgb before saving for web. what you'll see is what you get.

  + if your making colors like C100 M100 Y100 K100 you might as well just work in RGB. a print press would shit there pants if they received that in CMYK seps.

    I'm following the rules of the client for their printing machines... I'm illustrating fabrics, so I don't know much more– kodap3/3

  my color settings at ColorSync both rgb and cmyk have managed to make the output closer on web save, but now the rich-black stroke edges get slightly "bleached"... it's not that important, the most important is that the low resolution comes out near the cmyk print output..

  Thanks

  re. lighter stroke edge... you might have an overprint applied.

  view > overprint preview. and uncheck the overprint stroke box in attributes panel if needed.
