I finally see why my coworker hates rich black settings
At a print shop in Portland last week, my prepress guy showed me how my 60/40/40/100 rich black was actually causing banding on the press sheet. He said it needs higher cyan and lower black to avoid mud, which honestly hit different because I've been setting it the same way for 5 years. Anyone else have a setup habit they thought was fine until someone proved them wrong?

I've been setting my blacks the same way since 2012 because that's how the guy who trained me said to do it. Took a client rejecting 500 business cards to find out my rich black was basically just dark gray with extra steps. Guess I'll be updating my swatches and crying about the wasted ink tonight.

What did your guy think rich black was supposed to be?
