Hello.
Would someone out there be kind enough to help a poor designer out? Would you please provide me with a CMYK equivalent of Pantone8560C (It's a metallic ink). Perhaps a scan of the swatch, if u could? :-)
Thanks in advance.
Peace.

Is this a joke? You can't print a metallic with CMYK you crazy fool.

This might help, taken from the Metallics swatch book:
PANTONE RED 032: 25.2%
PANTONE BLACK: 10.8%
PANTONE 874: 64.0%I've got morning deadlines so I can't do the math, but you should be able to get close with this if you look up the CMYK values of each of these three colors and then do some dividing.
Looks like a metallic dark brown to me.

I just meant, input it into PS or AI and convert to CMYK values.
Got it in PS, thanks. :)

But be very carefull because depending on your color profile in PS you might get very very different results. If your printer uses specific color profile use it in PS.
Cheers.
