Your best bet is going to be printing on a pressure sensitive vinyl and mounting to the substrate. If a substrate isn't specifically meant to be printed direct with the particular ink set (solvent, aqueous, etc...) you'll have a hard time (if ever any luck) printing directly on it.
I print out 2" squares of black tints, usually in increments of 5%, and then write down which PMS it matches (or comes close to) and tweak from there. It's using 4cp in grays that make it take on various hues.
You're welcome. I get lots of help on this forum and try to give it back - that's what I love about Signs 101 (and the brutal entertainment). One last thing - if you can rasterize that portion of the art in Illy give that a try.
I think you're on the right track. What exactly do you mean "shadow" areas? Areas with tint, or some sort of gradient? Another thing I remember is making a configuration that would print black only at a higher ink%. The files I ripped through Wasatch were already separated through a pdf file...
I used stochastic when ripping out of Wasatch to a CTS, but when printing film the HP print didn't have enough density to get a good screen without playing the over-exposure game. I did however get good results using the ellipse at 55 or 65 lpi. It takes a bit of setting up, and I wish I could...
I no longer use Wasatch, but I did use it extensively for a few years. What line-screen are you printing? anything below 5% tint will turn into a scum dot.
