Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Not busting your chops Tom but I fail to see your vodoo with your technique on the above example. I look at it and see three colors easily, I would never think that had to be done in six nor five as a rule. I know if it was vector I could rip it myself but if provided to me as a raster someone like Dan or many others here could give that back to me as three on whites.Obviously the image would print better with more colors such as the maroonish color, it simply would look better as a spot color versus a mix which BTW is not always the easiest thing for print shops to accomplish. Everyone under the sun has different printing parameters than the next guy, inks are different, mesh counts are all over the board and obviously not all shops can nail perfect halftones required to pull off decent color blending on press.
Tom, can you post what EasyArt or Quikseps would have spit out on that same design?I think this is where SS Raster shines is head to head against pre-packaged sep programs.
