color mismatch - black

[Aleksandra26998196k6fg]

Hello,

I have a document in Photoshop with CMYK 30, 30, 30, 100K black and when i export it to illustrator only black color changes to C91% M79% Y62% K97%

(different colors are the same, only blacks changes). Why? 😞 The color profile is the same (FOGRA 39).

Thank you!

Is the file embedded in Illustrator?

I did not even think of that.

Problem solved...  Thank you for help! 🙂

Yes, when the file is linked, the eyedropper picks up the values from the preview image. When embedded, the real pixelvalues are used.

Good to hear that helped.
