I'm 3 generation printer, been in the commercial printing business for 40 years, never heard of Black being called Key. Had to look it up.
This is what I found...
CMYK is a scheme for combining primary pigments. The C stands for cyan (aqua), M stands for magenta (pink), Y for yellow, and K for Key. The key color in today's printing world is black but it has not always been. During the early days of printing, the colors used for Key have been brown, blue, or black -- whichever was the cheapest ink to acquire at any given time.
After reading this I remembered we gathered all the old left over special mixed inks and remixed them all together and used for black. Ink is considered hazardest waste. We would only use this ink when we had a one color black ink job to print. Would never use this ink today in 4 color process printing because it would have a tendency to print not as neutral black but a bit red brown or blue enough to effect the pictures over all hue.
