printing on reflective

[skasigns]

I have a Mimaki JV3. When I print red on printable reflective white, it looks orange. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much in advance!

Colors on the screen don't match what is printed. For red I use pms solid coated 186. The funny part is it looks more orange on the screen. If I were you I would get a PMS chart installed in whatever software you are using and print it on a few different vinyls.

What is your CMYK mixture for the red in question? Do all other colors come out right?

Try printing a colorchart. Then you can pick from the colors.

always print colour charts on different materials as was said. Very easy for deciding what colour to choose in the future. I basically run everyday like that with charts in different resolutions and different materials

i agree. always print a chart. i find that vector vinyl reflective prints really good with the mimaki. and its pretty cost effective too.
