Why and what is ‘Rich Black’?

March 1st, 2015

How much more black could this be?  And the answer is none, none more black.

Rich Black is a fancy phrase for printing a deeper black than pure black (100% K).
OK so that doesn’t really help… It is used for creating solid areas of black to avoid any brownish or grey faded black being printed.
