Quick "bump plate" question...

[lostmind]

Hi all! We're printing this big solid (PMS) blue pocket folder and it was brought up that we should do a bump plate. Now, I haven't done a bump plate for many years and the pressman asked for a 90% and a 10 or 20% tint plate. From what I can remember, the original plate needs to be 100% and the second plate a screen. What percentages do you use for this? Thanks!

In the past I've done a 100% and a 60% bump plate.

Don't forget to give the two plates DIFFERENT color designations so you have two different color bars.
And if you can, add a percentage screen to the marks.
We might do this on one of the process colors, in Preps, and select the marks and change the designation amounts.
YMMV.
