After spending quite some time trying to print images with pronounced grain characteristics, I have to agree with Nick that 
the standard separation methods do not work well with them.
He could print step wedges 'til we have a democrat in the White House to verify the workflow and still his prints would not 
convey the right feel, and in fact, look posterized in some parts of the scale with every standard workflow I've tried.
Seeing John Brownlow's prints would be interesting.
No matter how perfected a workflow may be, seems it still may not be right for everything or everyone.
The Spectratones could very well be perfect for this, assuming there is an apropriate media.
