    It varies from one printer to the next, but if I need a rich process black I usually set it at 40c/20m/20y/100k, like Rand. I find that a litte magenta & yellow goes a long way. For my money a slightly bluish black looks better than a greenish or red black...the human eye reads it as a darker color if you skew the numbers in favor of cyan.

    Otherwise if you have the units you could do a double hit of match black. it won't be as dark as a process black, but it will be extremely uniform.
