I strongly suggest asking the printer you're working with what they like for rich black, Photoshop Black has a far too heavy ink load for all wide format and offset printing here where I am due to climate. Inhouse we use 20,20,20,100 for wide format and 40,30,30,100 for offset. Firing more than just one print head (0,0,0,100k) is wise in wideformat so as to eliminate any potential banding issues that can arise. Only my 2cents though...

Hi there! I am doing sublimation printing from Photoshop CS6 Extended. I have found that there is a green tinge to my black when printed out. I converted to ADOBE 1998 working Space which improved things dramatically as well as printing from 16Bit rather than 8 bit . However, I am still finding I get a greeny tinge to my blacks. Is there any setting in Photoshop to rectify this further? Hoping you can provide some insight.
Kind Regards,
Ellie

Hi Jeff!
This may be a stupid question, but I´m creating a business card in PS, and the photo isn´t unlike my profile photo here.
Only problem is, that in CMYK it comes off grey´ish like in your video.
How do I make the black color in my photo into rich black?
Thanks!
