Go to the Roland Website - they have a Printing Grays info sheet that will cover your issue(s).

I live by my colur charts, without thenI would be lost. Heck I take the big chart outside when matching a specific colour.

is there a chart for flexi though? i finallly reached a decent color, he loved it..just wasted a saturday trying to get the color, oh well, coulda been worse.

most charts are just an array of color swatches & written references to their cmyk values... the thing is to print it on your printer & your media, under a specific set of specifications, which you should write on the chart. If you use Flexi, to print a chart on 3651, at high speed, bidirectional, 360-540... with a specified profile & heat settings etc... then any color on that chart can be replicated by using the same settings, and media.

I've noticed the Color Management preset in VersaWorks RIP Software can have effects on grays/colors as well. I normally print on Pre-Press U.S. versus say Max-Density U.S. The colors print more like how I see them on screen. I've notice grays looking greenish if I print using Max-Density U.S. output. Designing in RGB versus CMYK is definitely the way to go.
