Where are you 'finding' your numbers? In a program or in a swatch book?

C usually = coated but 85 isnot a pms color
M usually = matte
Is what you have written 85c/100m ?
Could mean you're supposed to use cyan at 85% and magenta at 100% in a cmyk mix
The 85-1 is a process color, completely different thing.
