I am producing a printed piece that requires me to come as close as possible to a copper color, without using metallic inks.

Any suggestions on a CMYK mix?
 
It depends on the type of copper your looking for.

Here's a few: (all listed as C Y M K %s)
27 49 59 4
25 51 52 3
19 54 72 3

Hope that helps. The top one is the CMKY version of a metallic PMS copper taht we use all the time in our printing shop.

 
Thank You Kyle!

Please confirm... you had said, "all listed as C Y M K".

Did you intend this to be "all listed as C M Y K"?
 
You can download preset "styles" from the Adobe Site for all types of metals including copper.
I have lots of them and use them for graphical interface design.
Plus, they are free and rated from other users.
Some of the Gold Styles are awsome.

Can you post the link where I can download these styles?
