Out of interest which typeface is that?

We double pass projects often, and it certainly is more cost effective at times then battling a job, trying to hit it in a single pass. However, the inking system and the impressional strength on a 10×15 is not as robust and we’d like. We struggle even with a rider roller on the 10×15 to eliminate mechanical ghosting altogether. A 13×18, especially with rider rollers just handles the ink better. There are three form rollers and two riders, plus even more rollers in the ink train. The down side is that the 13×18 is a beast and a bit touchy. In the press room, once you switch back over to the 10×15 you feel like you are running a race car.

My solution usually is to simply double impress to get better coverage on the 10×15. My 13×18 is foil/die only. I’m guessing for a job shop (even a specialized one) double impression isn’t a cost effective option?
