Anyone with experience of going through the BCC edgespot discussion, care to chime in on this question before I start the discussion with BCC?

Say I want to use the 3T18 edgespot. Instead of three spot colors I choose only two. In this mockup, I used a white edgespot and two (2) Saturn Yellow spots right next to each other.

Is this gonna be struck down pronto?

I understand their reticence not to do a edgespot matching a body spot because of the Samurai example, but this seems to be different as it's using two edgespots to make a bigger one (visually).



Follow up question: anyone ever ask BCC if you can get a second color into the 1X1 edgespot so it looks like a two spotted cousin of the Flamingo blue $1 chip?

(shove a chunk of spot color into the bigger chunk of fill edgespot?) Like a single U spot.....drool.

I think they can probably do it. Mike will probably tell you that there may be a small line where the two identical colors meet.

As far as putting a second color "into" an edge spot, I don't think they can do that. They might be able to put 2 - 1/2" spots into it or 1/4-1/2-1/4, but I don't know for sure.

I bet they'll do it, but I'd recco. against it for reasons listed above. I personally don't think it'll turn out like you've got it pictured in your head.

I think he will advise against it merely for the chance that the two edgespots that are the same color might not match exactly. I know he was against putting the base color as the outside edgespot colors for this very reason.

Agree with above. They might do it but it won't look like your mock up. I have a chip with one spot done to match body color. It's close but you can definitely tell it doesn't match. Doesn't bother me greatly but for what you're trying to achieve I don't think you'd be happy.

As far as the second question I have no idea, give 'em a call and ask.
