There is an article on rich black in Wikipedia that gives a bit more
details. I don’t think this article is complete but it's a start.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_black

It’s worth to dig to get a good knowledge of what rich black is about.
Depending on the printing device and on what is actually printed, values may
(will) vary and this can (or will) have an effect on the final printed
result. There are simply no short answers about rich black.
