I found this a while ago. I still haven't tried it, but it might work although requires a bit of patience on the guy who does your press.
"Heh. This is a problem I've struggled with as well, and the best solution I've found is to make a square of arbitrary size with a gradient halftone pattern on it and ask your local press to run it in each color, rotated 90 degrees between colors, so that you can see how the two colors interact at various tint levels.
I've been facing this with a personal job where I'm printing in black and 871 metallic gold. Screen previews usually aren't bad, but because metallic inks are opaque rather than transparent, I had to build them somewhat differently.
Seriously, best of luck to you - I haven't found a good solution for this yet. "
