can you find a printer locally who can do something similar on the same stock? Then you can set up a wet proof/scatter proof and chuck a whole load of crap onto a B2 page and test as much as possible? or just ude white-out, crayons kitchen foil and tracing paper....same result...;)

There used to be a custom letraset process called Chromatec which was a good way to proof something like this. It can be done in any pantone colour. I know of one supplier still doing it here in Toronto. The generic name was "rubdowns". Don't know about your area though.

agentfour, spendogg & tesmith, thank you for your responses (you can go to hell, mg33 ;)
I hadn't considered the screenprinting option. This makes me even more annoyed that I got rid of all my equipment a couple of years back! grrr. Perhaps I could buy the minimum of equipment back in to play around with.. though then I've got the problem of the size of the halftone resolution conflicting with the mesh density. Hmm. Still, I guess I could upscale and 'look from further away' :) Hmm. *ponders*
Nor had I considered rubdowns, that definitely warrants investigation, thanks for that suggestion, tesmith.
in the meantime, I guess I'm stuck with raiding the kitchen and local art supply shop :)
