Appreciation post: the printer's prepress guy in Rochester who caught my 4-color black before it hit the press
I sent over a business card file with rich black built as 60/40/40/100 and he flagged it in about 10 minutes, saying it would offset on the back over a 500 card run, and now I build black as 40/30/30/100 every time, so what's your go-to rich black mix?

That "caught it in about 10 minutes" part is the real story here. Dude saved your whole run before it even started. Rich black at 60/40/40/100 is way too much ink for a card stock, and offsetting on the back of a 500 run would've been a total loss. I usually run 40/30/30/100 too, or just 100K with a touch of cyan if the shop asks for it.
