I imagine that it would print just a solid black but it's still in dots everywhere. The digital image is a raster, completely solid black. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

is it actually "black" or is it a shade of black? what black are you using?
If you are using a black spot color you should be fine. if you are using a black that has a CMYK or K value less than K=100 then you might be getting halftones because of that.

I usually send all my jobs through illustrator and corel so i'm not sure what is different in this process of sending raster or vector to accurip.

It should be changed to a monochrome bitmap.

Even though you say it's all black, I bet your using the RGB color palette and have specified black from that. Accurip will do precisely what you're describing when you send RGB black to the printer.

Go to window-info. Then move your mouse over the area you want a spot color, make sure your in CMYK mode the area should be 100K. If not Accurip will print it as a halftone example if it says 85K it will print a 85% halftone. In RGB I think it would be 255R 255G 255B but I always convert to CMYK. Image-mode-CMYK.

The "fill" suggestions are correct but I thought the image was raster.

So sounds like an image mode issue
(RGB or Greyscale or CMYK changed to Black and White/Monoochrome)

Yes it is raster. I always change mode to CMYK change K to 100 and opacity to 100 for spot colors. My post above was wrong 100% black is R0 G0 B0 this is why I dont do anything in RGB the above post will get you white
