I handled an apparel catalog for years, with touchy colors, fleshtones, crazy patterns like moiré and houndstooth. The dot structure matters a great deal. Elliptical works best. Used to go to Ireland for film work, that was a nice trip. Very knowledgeable etchers, now a lost art. Same with very knowledgeable pressmen, as you mention. The best one I recall was up in Minnesota, at a large web printer near Lake Minnetonka. He could read your mind, lol. Excellent color acuity, too. Better than mine, and that's saying something.

That sounds fun!

We used to use a pre-press house (DMI) in Grants Pass, then one in Medford, but they mostly don’t use film anymore, it’s all CTP, which makes it cheaper for us, though we don’t know color and seps as good as they did!

See ya’,
