I've gotten an image off the internet. I pasted into Photoshop and deleted the background saved it as a psd and placed it into my Illustrator doc.

The Illustrator file has a black background. When I placed the Photoshop image it looked great. Printed out on my printer, great again!

Then when I went to get it printed at Kinko's on semi glossy heavy paper, I noticed the image had a different shade of black in the background. Couldn't see it on my Mac or on my printout.

I'm thinking it was because I forgot to change the image to CMYK, since my file was CMYK....think that it's? Don't want to keep paying Kinko's for files I can't use. Thanks in advance.

If you want accurate color when sending to print, you need to convert all images to the cmyk color space. Rbg is used to set the color of light and many rgb values cannot be recreated in print. Also, you can use the eyedropper tool in illustrator to sample the black color in the image and apply it to the background shape in illustrator. If they are both in the same color space and have the same color values, they should print the same.
