When opening a SVG (B&W) file with Illustrator, I want the blacks to be all 100% K

When opening a SVG file with Illustrator, it will have a color value for all CMYK. The black will not be 100% black. I work with black color files only and would need them to open in Illustrator as 100% black. Any setting for this?

    You can easly change all strokes/fills to 100% by Select>Same> Stroke/Fill/Aperance (depending on workart You have)

    The easy change would be in Edit > Edit colors > Recolor artwork.

    This is only useful after converting the file to CMYK color mode.

    Totally true, I've forgot recolor at all.

    That's entirely up to the SVG source. Since CMYK support in SVG is still experimental, most of them will be RGB, hence the color conversion. Unless you can control the source of the SVGs, there is no way to change this. AI treats it simply like any other RGB document converted to CMYK.
