Then depending how accurate your press and you are at printing, print the yellow and pink meeting each other. (the seps have to be dead on and you have to hold the dots.) I wouldn't do this at a really high LPI. I think a little larger dot would look better with this design (it is a seventy’s or eighty’s looking design). Maybe a 40 LPI. If you want to make sure your ok. I would print a full yellow flash then the pink on top or the other way around if you have a really sticky yellow on that much coverage.

our manual collects dust, unless I can run it faster on the manual, it goes auto.

This kind of design tends to look better when printed digitally...bump that junk....make you money endless. just charge accordingly and you will be good.That's what I meant...I'd rather spend my time printing a couple hundred spot color shirts and make five or six hundred bucks, plus farm out this job for another hundred or so in profit. Also, no matter how meticulous you are with the halftones and the seps, it won't look like the image on the customer's monitor...I don't do DTG but this would be a perfect job for it...You'd be done printing in the amount of time it took to mess around with the seps and screens and registration. The customer would be happier with the finished product, and you'd make money.
