I think I'm going to try the route Dorian has suggested--I've seen good

results before from printing screenshots of Flash objects that were

converted in Photoshop. The PMS match is possible but impractical because of

the number of gradients etc in the artwork. The only wrinkle is that the

image needs to be blown up to create a large-format print--about 6 feet

tall.


Thanks for the responses. I'll let you know how it works.
