K, I just met with the guy. Took them 15 years to nail this down using different dot gains, inks, sheets as well as different plate manufacturers. The ripping program they use actually allowed them to acheive more than 256 (?) shades of grey (which was previously the cap).
Anyways my take on the poster is that its fucking flawless. The design isn't all that great, its basically a photo with paint brushes and paints and things. But the detail of it looks like its actually there. The brushes are amazing looking.
I guess they actually did count the dpi, some organization who was disputing their claim and it turned out to be right on the money. He left some propaganda magazine with me that has all sorts of letter from graphics organizations, so I'll read some of them and see if I can figure out some exact specs on it. But seriously the print is very very lifelike.
