give those people black and white copied business cards + an orange pencil

ok. Maybe a straight conversion will suck.
If someone knows a good printed CMYK combo for orange similar to PMS 172 could they post it up.
thanks for helping a colur chartless designer!

already had a look for you. but sorry nothing cmyk in my solid to process book is anything like your orange.
you and your client wouldnt like it..
try and get him to go spot colour or tell him he will have to settle for an orange brown as its just not possible to match.
