For those of you who are print designers, how do you go about making a Rich Black?
(or Shiner)

I personally use 30% cyan 30% magenta & 100% Black

30 20 20 100

Thats a mix i have used to great effect in the past, yet one printer once told me that it was not enough and I should go for 30c/30m/100k. Its Crazy.

110% ??? never heard of that before, in fact I don't think it's possible to put the K above 100% in a lot of programmes

Hehe. Print people. Sigh.
