With out regular brochures, it's a CMYK process - and I could of course do a 3-color CMY (and make process-black), but my question relates to DVDs. Specifically, since they're silver, how do I do the best 3-color job I can?
Of course, achieving a photo realistic image on the silver disk is really 5-color job (since a white 5th-layer is a color too). But a 5-color job really jumps in price (as does 4-color - but it looks crappy compared to using white first). Anyway, my budget dictates a 3-color job . . . and it costs the same as 2-color or even 1-color silkscreening!
Is there some way to constrain Illustrator to 3-color, or 3-Pantone colors, and have it generate the pallete for me (so I don't screw up)? What esle haven't I considered?
Thanks in advance
