K is the black in CMYK... aka process black. It's the most standard ink out there, and subsequently the cheapest - though I seriously doubt a printer would charge you more for requesting a Pantone black. But judging by your cost effective approach, you'll probably be using cheap stock and wouldn't notice the difference anyway.
So really... you want the black to show up richer on a single color run, try spending a little more on the stock, and definitely do not choose uncoated paper.
- we charge more for pantone black. the biggest factor that we've come across is the substraight, not the ink
