    If you are worried about clarity, DO NOT go digital, unless you go off a ridiculously tight machine. Digital clarity at your standard printshop will be crap. Better doing it properly off an offset printer. Doesn't always have to be expensive either. However, you will want to make a rich black for that process. In case you are unsure about the values for that, everyone has a different group of values. I usually use a blend of C=30 M=30 Y=30 K=100. This will create a very nice black, and also create more consistant coverage. So, make your swatch to the full values, and then take that black where you need it, back to 70%? Or was it 80%?

    But, look around your area, and look for offset printers that can do this for you on the lower end of the pricing scale. Easily doable.
