Ok, for months i've had this problem - even researched and found people with similiar problems. But as you know each machine tends to have their own ways to fix problems so maybe ya'll can throw a few ideas my way to help out a bit.
Anyways, I have a Roland Pro II V SC 545-EX, and most of the time if I use a Pantone 320 C or almost ANY shade of grey, it'll come out greenish. or even pinkish at times if have to turn the red up to get a better red on the print.
Now it's not a huge deal if it doesn't have other colors like BURGANDY in it, I can just print on artistic and the grey turns out good. BUT! For a local high school we're printing on edge magnetics, and even on vinyl it's SO HARD to get the colors, even after I get them once a few days later she orders more I print them the same way and it's different.
They are burgundy (real dark burgundy, very picky about that) and grey basketballs. I'll attach a image when I get back to the shop so you can see how it looks in flexi.
When I try to print these the grey turns out green and the burgundy isn't dark enough. As i've tried the custom settings in versaworks to double printing etc, sometimes it comes out decent under certain settings (sign&dispay) and sometimes it doesn't.
What I have to do is make it a 40" x 40" then export as a jpeg, re-import it in flexi, put a contour cut on it, export it as a eps.. then size it down in versaworks, then change settings in VW to sign&display or custom and preserve primary colors. I used to do all the work in illustrator but our illy crashed until I can install a new copy i've done the flexi way. BUT BOTH programs come out the same way.. and it's just killing me!
Also, most any red we have to turn up to be a "real red". Any suggestions?
