At the time, print buyers actually had money, so we were able to do some pretty cool stuff with the 10 micron stochastic (aka "Staccato" in Scitexican). CMYKOG on a Heidelberg SM102 is the only way to go. Until they call you up at 3:00 AM claiming that "the plates you gave us don't match the proof". How the bejeezus do you make a proof on an inkjet that will ever match this? And why are they running it at 3:00 in the morning anyway? But I digress. We never thought of attempting spot color that way. That's a good idea! But how do you proof it? ;) Well, anyway, back to my drinking. Another fine post!
