I know you can't really colour match a metallic in 4 colour. but has anyone got a 'best' match for metallic gold (PMS 871). need it for a banner where the logo would usually be gold but printer only prints process colours

K 100This works reasonably well, but it's the reflections that really give the colour.
Check out some jewellery sites or google images and have a look at the images... it might help to fake some reflections and some subtle gradients that work to help create some depth and keep in mind the direction of the light source that you are attempting to simulate.

K 10The more cyan and black you add the more you'll head toward the 'old gold' look.
