Could you post the image in question and maybe a scan/photograph of the printed result?

Was the image part of a page in a design application? Could it have been affected by overlying elements?

Well, that doesn't help anyone who might want to answer your question, does it?

The background black pixels in that screen shot are all identical:

R = 1

G = 1

B = 1

except for a thin 0,0,0 frame around the color panel.

The black in the color swatch inside the color panel is 3,0,0.

What print process (offset, inkjet, …)?

And the screenshot really does not provide a lot of help, could you post the image (lores or section) and a photograph of the printed result where on can discern the two different colors?

You are making it impossible for anyone to help in any way.

The web site of your print shop says they generate "Kodak quality prints". For the process it was a blunder for you to convert your image to CMYK. Whatever possessed you?

They also offer large posters, and I'm guessing that means large-format inkjet printers, for which RGB images are also expected, and CMYK would be totally inaproppriate there too.

The image you posted tells me nothing, it just makes me wonder what you are trying to describe.

You can post a link to any Internet image or site here, sure.

ok i hope this image is big enough so you may see the difference with the black variations.

clicking with the eyedropper tool on both black background give it the same cmyk value.

but in the print version of this,i can see the right side of image another black variation.

if you click onto the picture you can see the black background has a difference.

If one brightens the image significantly (with Curver for example) the borders do become noticeable.

For starters make the added black area the same black as in the image.

Other options would be softening the mask of the image or even using Blend if-settings to hide its blackest parts.
