Process black and Rich black are both similar if not the same. The black is created with a mixture of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. In 4 color printing it makes sure the back is saturated.

Pantone black is a spot color or a specific ink.

  • Isn't process black 100% black (vs rich black, which is typically 100% black along with percentages of the other process colors)
