Good Solid Yellow From 4 Colour Printer? (+ KOA?)

[player]

I have 2 small jobs, both require a nice solid yellow background.

One is a warning sign, with black letters. The other is a KOA sign.

I find the yellows can print with a touch of green, as well they are
not solid.

Thanks

We had the same problem. I figured out that if I turned off the profiles and just printed 100% Y and 0%CMK I get a damn near fluorescent yellow. With profiles off and printing PMS 108 the yellow is about perfect.

What do you mean by turning the profiles off? (Thanks!)

How do I do that in VersaWorks?

In the Job Settings dialog: go to the Quality Tab, select the media. Then in the Color Management Preset, choose Density Control Only. Note that this works best with CMYK-based files.
