Process is always four plates, except for the rare hexachrome offset, which
is six plates.

Spot colors require one plate per color.  Two-color jobs are pretty
economical, which is why you see so much two-color work.

I don't know what you mean by this.

Screens cause a problem when you reduce a logo to small sizes, as there
are limits on the line frequency you can use for screens, and if the
screen is too coarse for a tiny graphic, it will look really bad.  So
it's best to avoid screens altogether.

Worse yet is having multiple screens on several plates, in which case
you have to worry about registration issues, and the screens usually
have to be much more coarse, which again causes problems for small
sizes.
