Flatland: final test prints (probably)

I think the design for the giant poster is just about finished now. I experimented quite a bit with the colour but none were beating the grey version so I decided to use the overlays to build up a grey when its overprinted. Unfortunately the laser printer isn't reproducing this accurately so I may just have to hope it works when printed, it should do.

To explain the green colour is made from 8% yellow ink, 8% cyan + 4% black. The purplish colour is 8% magenta and 4% black. So (and this is the clever bit) when combined in the overlay section it adds together as 8% yellow, 8% cyan, 8% Magenta + 8% black = Grey!

The main text is 100% black and the title is 40% black
