If that's still not dark enough, add the description "rich black," which refers to a process in which K100 black is printed over some percentage of the other CMY colors. If your print vendor is using laser-based printing, specify 400% black, aka "registration black," which is the laser equivalent, or the Postscript spot color "all."
