I am a flexographic printer working on a wide web high speed press and 99% of the work we produce is created using dots (tone work). Dot gain in just one colour will increase the percieved darkness of the colour but the bigger issue is that with overlapping colours that are being used to create another colour ie cyan and magenta being used to create a purple it will alter both the visual strenght and the actual colour. Dot gain of the cyan will make the purple look 'bluer' and gain on the magenta will make the purple look 'redder'. I understand that there must be dot gain parameters at the design and prepress stage but a printer can, at the press of some buttons, completely ruin the work of all of the other stages.
