Lively discussions on the graphic arts and publishing — in print or on the web

For whatever it is worth: today I reviewed a proof of the job with the printer. I am not entirely sure of the proofing process, but the job is being run on a six-color Heidelberg, stochastic screening. The company owner said the proof is created by the RIP that preps the job for the press. The screen is visible in the proof. The most critical color, PMS 209 is about as close as one can expect from a CMYK build. I used the numbers from the Pantone conversion book.
