Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Wow what am i doing all of this on my freedom 6 color then. of course i do not use a highlight white (NEVER) and i have 2 in head flashes so no heads are dedicated flash stations but rather a color and a flash station in one(BRILLIANT). most of the time it is not always the budget that keeps the colors low but rather the space which is needed for the press! I would have love to get a 8 or 10 color (had the budget for it) but the building addition to get it comfortably in the room would not have been cost effective.
IF customers want perfect color on sim process they are probably going to a shop with a 14 or 16 color machine anyway.
There has only been one or two times that I needed an extra color.

Having an flash back or similar is pretty much useless when running simulated process. I can only imagine the problems that arise from p/f/p a sim process base.I don't think thats 100% accurate. You see, with other people doing your seps, they make it work for what you have. That doesn't mean that those prints couldn't be better with 1 or 3 more colors.
