    lumedia, black on its own isn't totally neutral.

    Sending your client proofs via PDF could be a recipe for disaster. Who knows how their monitor is set up? Maybe everything beyond a 70% black looks 100% black for them?

    If you want a really dense black (not for text, though) mix up a four-colour black, Consult your printer about what the max density is for the press and paper you're using, but something along the lines of c60 m60 y20 b100 will be pretty dense and neutral black (depending on paper stock and so on).
