Color Mixing article

One of the past issues of Polymer Cafe had a fabulous article on using
the Pantone Color codes for mixing clay using the CMYK/RGB formulas.
Might anyone recall which issue that was...I've gone through my
magazine binder in a frenzy, going page by page thru each issue looking
for it, and just my luck, I seem to have misplaced the issue this
article was in.

Also, has anyone used this technique yet for color mixing? I dug out
my pantone cards and color ref. books from my webdesign days and dusted
them off to do this, now I can't find it. augh!!! Thanks in advance!

Ugh well now I feel silly...seems to be in the most recent
issue...don't know how i could have possibly overlooked it. I could
have sworn it was in one of the issues from last year. My bad!

So now my question is, has anyone used this method effectively???

Claud

haven't tried this yet, claud, but hope to in the near future.

I use this method all the time mostly with Premo. The trick is
figuring out how much grey (K) to add to the CMY formula. I start with
a light grey and gradually add small traces of black to get the desired
result.
