This is another 8 color sim process that is a good example of the channels as well as the RGB build.
New customer. The liked the sep work. Very good printers also. They held good detail. The red is a little too orange or It seems to have came out a little lighter than I expected. Had I been on location, we might have changed the color to a richer red. At the same time, it was sampled up this way and approved so don't mess with approvals. ;)

Nice work as usual. As you said don't mess with approvals but........the actual print did not look as rich in color as probably intended. My highend separators are also off site but we have a good synergy. They have a good understanding of the print process and I have a reasonable understanding of what they do. When that comes together success is practically guaranteed.
Good job!

Looks excellent! I'm not sure why you put blue in the grey teeth, but the result came out nice

I sometimes like to combine small percentages of lets say 8-10% of lighter colors to form one averaged color. I like multiple colors blending together rather than just one halftone color over white. In this case, the attempt was to get sort of a blue/gray color but I don't have gray. The original art was pretty gray. More blue gray in the teeth than white. The print went on multiple colors. Black, Blue Gray etc. So using the blue  shirt color was not an option.

It may not be perfect, but what is? It still looks very good to me. I like the low percentage color mix for the gray when there is no gray printer. It also helps the printer decide on pressures, if the gray is tinted one way or another too much, it can be adjusted (to a point) on press.
