CMYK color value

• dznrguy

  I'm designing a business card and I want it to be a "creme" color. Any suggestions as to color values? I can't determine what a decent value would be without a decent printer (which I dont have on hand). Any suggestions?

  Thank you in advance.

  if you are still around..

  5%Y, 3%K is good

  If you are flooding the whole card to make the paper look 'natural' - i've seen pressman mix a tiny amount of yellow ink into a varnish - then flood the sheet with it.

  Just an interesting technique for you to consider. Of course you know you could use a 'creme' colored stock.
