We are primarily a spot color shop and have a really good customer wanting some shirts done that I think are going to have to be done 4 color process. How would you print this logo on white shirts. I would love to give this a shot because I do not want to send this customer out. Anybody out there that I could pay for separations and advice if we go forward with this? Not going to be but about 50 pcs. Thanks

You will want to go sim process to nail some of those colors properly... But it can be done with cmyk if your customer is ok with color shift.
I can sep it along with several other extremely qualified people on this message board.

I think that's a great candidate for CMYK, as long as the customer doesn't have to have exact colors.
Have you done CMYK much/ever before? It's not our bread & butter, but this Mark Coudray article helped me get a good enough grasp of it to offer it within a limited scope. (Basically, we'll do it for high-color count, non-color-critical jobs.)

A lot of people disparage CMYK, but I actually enjoy it. (Maybe because I have a relaxed client base; I wouldn't want to do it for exacting customers.) I love watching the colors build up, then all come together as the black goes down.
