3 Dk Green
4. Grey
5. Metalic Goldish color (not Metalic though)

8. White

HAve 3 flashes if need be as well.
thanks

I assume halftone on the green that 'trails off", but still how do you do that without some underbase?  Did you do the seps?

I'd be flashing between the red and yellow prints for sure, the rest is a bit of a crap-shoot.

Base White
Flash
Yellow
Green
Dark Green
Grey
Gold
Flash
Red
Top White

I think its safe to say if ten people respond youll get ten different answers. If I were to print this in my shop it would print as follows. For us having a proper underbase on this would be important to control all those solid colors. We would run this with two flashes but if you wanted to add a third you could. Id think for that you must have a big auto to account for cool downs etc.

Underbase white
Flash
grey
dk green
light green
red
flash
gold
yellow
top white

If you had that extra 3rd flash stick it in front of the last top white. Like I said prob 10 different answers from 10 diff people but if we printed that with the above print order we could run it 60+ doz/hr easily.

In my opinion I would Print it like this:

Base
FLASH
Yellow
Lt Green
Dk Green
FLASH
Grey
Gold
Red
FLASH
White

Might switch the Red and Third Flash. I would have to see the screens.
