    k some odd advice here..

    but all i gotta say is (for example) 375C and 375U are the exact same cmyk values in illy and the exact same ink parts in pantone, BUT printed on the the 2 stocks they are def not the same color.

    that has everything to do with the color of the paper... and nothing to do w/your on-screen values...

    ... on-screen values are a visual representation only... do NOT judge color on-screen ever unless you're building for something RGB (tv, web etc)...

    ... if you need to see how a color is going to print on a certain stock - contact the paper company... they've got samples up to a point...

    ... the printer will also have samples of work they've printed...

    ... getting color right on the 'right' stock is a talent in itself... you should really be speaking to your printer / press men who work the physical color on the presses...

    ... never judge printed work on-screen... you'll be disappointed. :)
