Just design in black. Don't design in PMS in Photoshop unless you know how.
The image was prepared in PS...mode->grayscale. Did I mention using PMS in PS? I don't think I did.

Don't design in PS if you have Indesign.
As I said, I'm designing my business cards in ID. I edited the photo in Photoshop, before placing in ID, which I believe is general practice. The clue is in the name, if you look hard enough (hint, photoshop).

And stop making it so hugely difficult for yourself. One color is ONE COLOR!
Thanks for that profound advise.

Don't tell me it looks good on the screen (rgb 72dpi ALWAYS!).
I mean the image shows okay on the screen, as opposed to being very dark. I'm talking about an extreme change in tonal range -- nothing to do with resolution. And yes, I am aware that a monitor shows colour in RGB. Thank you for being so patronising. By the way, DPI is a printing term - dots, not pixels, per inch, and so is not related to screen resolution. Just a note for future use.

Stop being fancy and figure it out. It's ONE COLOR!
Again...amazing advice there. Where do you get all this knowledge from?

I suggest you think about what you write before posting it -- and actually reading my post beforehand would be pretty good too.

Like they say, if you have nothing useful to say, don't say anything.
