There are no "standard" values for this, they would vary depending on factors
like ink and media. You can generate your own numbers by running a file with
these numbers through a printer or press profile in Photoshop, and looking at
the resulting Lab values with the eyedropper tool. Do it with assorted
profiles, and you will see the varying Lab values.
