Exporting black in illustrator is dull (gray)

I have created a simple logo in illustrator cc. The background is black and text is white. When exported the logo to jpg, tiff, pdf, etc the black is dull looking like gray. The Document Color Mode is set for CYMK.  In "Preferences" I changed the "Appearance of Black" Printing /Exporting to "Output All Blacks Accurately" but that did not help. Does anyone have a suggestion to resolve this issue?

Do a File >> Document Color Mode >> RGB, then adjust your RGB to 000 for a rich black

Whether you like it or not, that is indeed the only way you can get the richest black, using CMYK in both raster export and in print. 


 

No, it's not.
