I do hope that you use Print Control Strip ? problems with Wet on Wet Ink (Trapping) and many others woulld be apparent for ALL to see.

I had the impression that there was no overprint.
Be interesting to learn the outcome. I say we start a pool. I say it's a pressure problem on the unit. However I will fudge by saying if the sheet has already retained too much dampner (water/ink) (ie wrong ink lay order) bets are off. I doubt this is the case.
Yeah, you could run a solid mixed Pantone to simulate the screen tint, but that doesn't solve anything. It puts a bandage on it.
Anyways; I reckon the operator is about ready to quit about now. That could solve the problem.
I'm thinking I just might put a burger on the grill.

My apologies Alith7. Should have realized you were simply being polite to all that provided input. I'll crawl back into my hole.
Alith7,
Why are you not printing 4 colours KCMY (FOGRA) In the UK when we order Spot Colours/PMS for Coated/Uncoated. The Ink as to
print Solids/ Halftones/ Text .......... whatever image is on the plate.

What is the ink film thickness of the spot color? Get out the tool and please measure.

While I have a fair amount of cool tools for a smaller shop, one with the ability to measure that is not among them.

Gordo, if you're still lurking around here, I have a couple questions about your photos. What PMS color was that you were testing? I find it interesting that your examples are orange, and orange is what i'm having problems with. If it is an ink issue, is it an issue that's more prominent in certain pigment families?
It was PMS 172
