    um, yeah. your actually more correct on your first guess.

    you can actually use 60% cyan + 100% black to get that deep cold black. the cyan will roll on first and the black goes on top.

    also, the printer will respect you, knowing your not trying to be a smartass and just trying to put down as many colors as possible to try and make a dark black.

    cmyk black is really like a muddy black because the magenta and yellow plates.

    maybe that helps.
