Alright, back to the original poster. It would be helpful to know what inkset, RIP and profile you are using. Without knowing those variables, here is what I would suggest to work toward a nice orange. Using a CMYK color, start out with something like 0/40/100/0 and slowly add magenta until you reach the desired shade of orange. You may also want to print at a higher resolution, say 720x720 with more passes (try 8-16 pass). Oranges can be really tough to dial in using solvent inksets--to the point that some inksets include an orange ink. Also, if you're encountering streaking or banding, try stepping the heat back a bit and see what happens. Alternatively, you could check your Media Compensation.
