  so I have made a calibration on my macbook screen color...

  I am working on a cmyk illustrator file and as I save a preview for web, my blacks come out pretty much equal, I have a stroke C100 M100 Y100 K100, and colors like 40 40 40 100 come out the same as I save them for web, even tho I can see a big difference between the two black while working on the file.

  I have tried so many combinations like the color settings, assigning profiles, rich black / 100 Black (at preferences) but nothing seems to change my blacks (they come out with no difference) as I save that godamn fuckr to web...

  can someone help me out sorting this?

  What are your settings for save for web? That could be it.

  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.

  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.
