How does this file output this film?

[Gilligan]

We are using Film Maker and our contract customer sent us this artwork.

We printed it and I feel like the red should have printed out essentially the opposite of the yellow from what I'm seeing in the art file.

Can anyone see that isn't correct or what I'm missing?

Ignore the scratches that are on the table below the films.

Never mind.  I found the "culprit".  Apparently, I didn't understand the gradient tool as well as I thought I did.

My wife schooled me on it.

Though, all it means is that it won't print right.

Sending customer test print to show this.

There is already a rush fee involved because they want them by Monday.

They also haven't dropped off the 500 pcs yet.

Not good!

You are wanting the negative to show, we refer it to "interlocking" halftones, which I wish a RIP could interpolate that.

You can do it in photoshop / illustrator by making it a bitmap, and then overlaying it on your base in illustrator.

We do this sometimes to make a smooth gradient, because if you do it with the rip you have two dots laying on the same degree so there will be unprinted sections.   In a way it is sort of more like a more uniform index.

Anyone know a way to achieve this through a RIP and not the ghetto bitmap in illustrator workaround?
