    The darkest possible on most printing devices is:
    c61 m51 y51 k100.

    If you want a straight grey mixed by CMY you have to put about 10% more cyan in it, than magenta and yellow as you can see above. If you mix it like 50c 50c 50c 100c it will get a bit of magenta gleam.

    The rule about max 250-260% only goes if you use 100% black. As soon as you take some of the black out, 90% for that matter, you can easyly go past the 250% rule.

    Hope it made sence.
