I've seen printers do either 100 K and 20 C or 100 K and 5CMY. What kind of proof did you get? If the printer will let you attend while they're ramping up the press, it's a good idea to do it to make sure there's isn't any need for tweaking. Typically, a mid-to-high volume press will _not_ stop the presses to wait for you to come in for a check (unless you pay a lot of money, of course), but they might be able to tell you when they're doing their make readies and you can ask your rep to let you check it all out then.
