thanks for the advice guys.
The shift from PANTONE 1665 to PANTONE 1665 C on screen is huge - so I was a little skeptical. My instinct was to go with the coated versions of the colour seeing as it's going to go on a coated stock anyway - and your suggestions confirmed it. Thanks.

- C means coated, U means uncoated. The CMYK values behind both of those should be the same. The change is to approximate on screen how it will look on the selected print surface.Josev

- CMYK will NOT create an accurate PMS color, since most don't fall within its gamut.monospaced
- I didnt say that CMYK will create an accurate PMS color. I said the CMYK values behind both C and U Pantone colors would be the same.Josev
- would be the same. The printer probably was correct in suggesting that he use a true spot color, oranges (PMS 1665) are some of the most difficult colors to match using CMYK.Josev
