Chloe,

Have you asked if you could specify the color as spot even though the job will be printed as process? Most newer workflows can convert to CMYK based on a plate curve or ICC Profile in the RIP. Usually this gives the best results. The CMYK values in the Bridge are only good for a press which adheres to the same conditions as in the technical notes in the Bridge. We use a local printer here in San Diego that does not use a custom profile (They use U.S. Sheetfed Coated CMYK.icc) however we get the best results when we specify colors are spot and then they convert to CMYK via Rampage - that way we don't have to.
