    andy, I don't think you're contradicting me, because I know everything you've said is spot on.

    I dunno if it's a UK thing, but it's my experience that many print shops are going over to full digital, which means the loss of spot colour.

    A cpl of the big London ad agencies have even got their own digital presses inhouse now so they can run out the smaller-run promo items by themselves. This has hit regular printers in London quite a bit.

    The print shop I work for from time to time has gone to all digital, and spot is out the window. If anyone needs spots or Pantone (hardly anyone does now since they'd rather pay £1000 for crap than £1200 for excellence) it's just shipped out to another printer.

    All opinions welcomed.
