Title: Seps advice

I really dislike running designs like this as 4CP.  Anyone have any other ideas?

I have some but you need to assure me that you have a 22 station press or can table print the length of a football field first

If you're real good, you might pull it off with green, yellow, purple, red, orange and black... but it won't be dead on, but neither will CMYK. But if it looks good, that's all that matters.

My outside separator would go CYMK, being sure to adjust the levels selectively. The create a wet white plate to create the pastel or lighter shades. Then after checking his "Out of Gamut" Pantone reference, he could create some spot or boost plates> could be done with six screens; eight would be damn near perfect.

this is where pre-testing assorted ink colors and overlay combinations would come in handy...

Any chance your outside separator is for hire?

overprints perhaps? Could with work if you toned the ub just right.

Yes, on a job to job basis. I assume this is on a white substrate. If not the game changes but still possible

Tony, thanks for hooking me up with Joe. We've been going back and forth over the last few days getting to know each other. I have a job I'm trying to get together for him to do. Nothing too high end, but something I think we'd have to try a few times to get right. Thanks again.
