My book printer has raised concerns about the PDF I sent originated on Affinity Publisher. Because my Affinity Publisher is set up for Rich Black and recommends Standard Black because there is a chance of fringing or ghosting on some of the small type when printed because it is CMYK - hence four impressions, if any are off then there's a fringe. I cannot work out how to change from Rich to Standard .  0/0/0/100 is the recommended setting.

I use a Document Palette with a global colour for my text. I choose this for all my Paragraph text colours, choose it in the Base Style and then have the colour inherited in subsequent styles. I doubt that you'd actually need to set up a Document Palette with a global colour*, just make sure that there is a CMYK 0, 0, 0, 100 colour set in the Base text styles and that you are working in a CMYK document should be enough.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

....and, when you export to PDF, do NOT change your CMYK profile from the PDF Export Window, otherwise all your carefully created K-only elements will be converted to rich black during profile conversion. Ideally, set up your original document using your final CMYK color profile.
