adding black to pantone colors?

or do what I do and cheat it. If you have ID3 you can create a mixed ink group in the swatches palette of ID3 and then read the CMYK values of the created swatches! Then recreate color in ID. Do check your seps to see if they are plating correctly and talk with your printer about some of the problems that this may cause and color print order.

I don't think Illy allows mixed inks as of yet.

You have add a new fill above your spot, put in some amount of black and set the new fill to multiply.
