Output is a CMYK gravure process onto plastic, so there's a certain amount of see-through anyway, depending on the saturation used (this is all a little more technical than I'm used to - suffice to say, I can output what I see in Illy, etc, with a certain amount of confidence, as the printer takes care of the separations).
I just want to a) check my thinking's right and b) fish for colour recommendations - 100y/15m is, as well as being one of my favourite colours, kind of the direction I was thinking - perhaps a bit more greeney though?
Sadly, my tests in printing directly onto a silver reflective card here led merely to my printer, hands and papers getting covered in yellow ink, because, of course - inkjet ink needs to absorb-in, doesn't it? d'oh.
