The critical info here was 'it's a flexo job'.
A GOOD flexo printer may print a 1% dot as 10%. Many others may show as much as 20%!
For flexo, we set the RIPs to ignore anything less than 1% in the file, and for a couple of the 'other printers', ignore anything less than 2%.
The Esko plug in works well, but it's over $5000.
Watching carefully what your profiles do, and a bit of curve work in Photoshop is usually enough.The problem with JPEG introducing 'scum dots' in a normally white area goes WAY back, and is pretty well known in the trade.
