Seems simple enough to me. Just your average, everyday 53 color job.

Yikes.

Probably had so many swatches in the pallet it was easier to just make new
ones each time Red was needed instead of finding Red 07 each time
You should grab a ream of paper and print laser seps out for the proof.

I'm trying to convince the boss to charge for a plate for every color sep. That should keep it from happening again!

Even funnier would be to print with crops all colors to laser and have then approve the whole thing. If nothing they might just learn something and you get the chuckle.

Funny it actually is missing the white plate. We all have had two color jobs - Black and white.

Still makes me wonder why any idiot would create that many swatches but hey, I'm not a designer...
