Hi John Before you go too far with your color experimentation it's better to check with your print shop, get some proofs of your basic experiments for comparison, ask the print shop's advice, etc, because what you see is NOT what you get when you export from screen to print, unless you're using something sophisticated and horribly expensive like PS (and even then....)
