Once again, the easy and expensive answer is to print a spot color ink.

The additional expense is unappealing, though, so what else can you do? We can apply all of the principles from nightmare #1. Would black text work, for example? Maybe, although it's too bad to have to abandon that nice, deep red. Cyan or Magenta? Definitely not.
