We moved to index printing from simulated process about 5 years ago. It creates better prints because the image is using a full dot and not a half tone which gives more of a muted color. Plus managing dot gain is much easier. Dot gain with a half tone can drive you crazy. One thing we do different is use an image dot size of 188. We use a blend of 225 and 280 mesh on each print.
What is a simulated process print? Can you explain? This ends up looking more like a diffusion halftone but with more color control and the possibility of more layers

exactly what I needed to know, thanks!
Thank you, this is very cool.
Is this the same way you do simulated process prints?!
