When it comes to printing, black ink by itself won't give you a real dark 
black. The blackest-black you can get when printing in CMYK is C-75 M-68 
Y-67 K-90 (from a formula on a web page). These percentages are different 
than I remembered. The main idea is that you need more than just black ink.
