Black appearance (Vector <-> Raster)

[Peter Hallways]

Hi, i hope you can help me.

 

 

I am trying to create a pdf which consists of a vector image and a raster image.
in illustrator the vector black is the same as the bitmap black. but in the pdf the vector black is dark gray.
how can i turn this off?
the color space should be cmyk iso coated v2.
this is what the print service specifies.

Can you share an example pdf (with Illustrator Editin Capabilities) ?

Dropbox, CC filesharing, Google, WeTransfer...

Image has muddy black (some mixture of everything)

Vector line is 100 K

Probably in Illustrator in the Preferences you have set up the Appearance of black to always as dark black, so you don't see it when working.

What color space is your raster in?

How do you know the blacks are the same?

Are you applying the black vector FROM the black pixel image? How, with the eyedropper?

[Peter Hallways]

In Photoshop i set the color space to iso coated. then i copied the logo to 

illustrator. the black i applied was choosen with the eyedropper tool.

embed the image to get a better eyedropper result

I have found the error. It was mine. Apparently the eyedropper tool could not properly pick up the color of the raster image. So I captured the color code in Photoshop and copied it to Illustrator. Now the two black are the same black 😉
Thanks for your help

Monika is correct,  go into Separations Preview and see the multi ink image.
