Gradient and profiling issues.

[Latigo]

We have a Falcon Ourdoor 46 and we just bought Flexi-10.
When we attempt to print gradients we're getting other hues thrown into the mix. IE: light gray to black ends up with magenta or green hues.
Is this something that color profiling will fix? We need to speak with someone who has a real handle on this stuff asap. The project is a $15,000.00 three bus deeal that we'll have to pass on if we can't resolve it very soon. We'd very much like to call anyone that can help.
Thanks for any help.

Just a thought, may be a temporary fix.
Can you back off the ink output of some of the colors? I've had to do that before and it got the job done.

100% a profile issue. And it depends on the type of file your printing.

Absolutely a profiling issue. You can either hire someone to come in an fix the issue on a case by case basis or splurge for software and training. Software and training will be a bigger hit up front but cheaper in the long run. Actually, I would strongly recommend against paying anyone who does not train as they go.

typically in Flexi, when you are having color shifts in a gradient, it is most often caused by someone selecting colors in both the RGB and CMYK spectrum, which will give you all sorts of interesting colors.

Try pulling apart the gradient and reproducing it yourself, making sure you have a strict color palette selected.

+1 profiling problem.

+1 get trained and/or hire a pro to get it done immediately.
