Or if the lighting was from a colored light source - perhaps blue with the black pips and yellow or orange with the red pips?
Having tried this with a pip design (black with blue/green shading and red with orange) I can say it does look quite nice if done properly.
Yes, I might be the guy you remember from that thing at that place way back when.

It works with that - but I'd make the lighting just a wee bit brighter.  If it's too close to the original shade, it won't be noticed.

Alright, will change that. On another note, what are you guys opinions on LPCC and EPCC. I know they collaborate a lot, but what are the differences between the two. I'm asking this as i have yet to decide who to print my deck with. Thanks!

I believe they're using the same plant and printing press, and have some kind of agreement about LPCC handling custom cards for the Asian market and EPCC for The US market. I'm sure Don can fill in with some more info.

(I know I have the actual printing company's name somewhere but if I'm not mistaken they'll direct you to EPCC if you're in America and want to print with them.)

The second statement is right - the plant is using LPCC and EPCC as their exclusive reps - you could walk onto the plant floor, ask for the manager and ask him for a print job and he'll give you Bill Kalush's number in New York.

They're not really divvying the market geographically.  You can print with whichever company you like the best - which I'd consider on par with a mother being asked to choose her favorite identical-twin son...
