    Is it even a CMYK job? It sounds like a black and spot blue. There are so many variables that we don't know here that it's hard to give any advice? Paper stock? Printer's capabilities? I would suggest a coated stock for this -- either a matt or dull coated (unless you want it to be glossy). You could use an uncoated but the printer is going to have to be pretty good. Also the printer is going to have to be responsible for this at the prepress stage. This is impotant because some printers just press the button and send your file, leaving you with all of the responsibility for preparing the files so that the job is successful on press. The other thing is that this job really should have a varnish with that type of coverage. Is there a budget for a varnish?
