    I had a job which needed blues and pinks which were no problem. I now need to print a nice bright green and just can not get one. I haven’t tried reds yet. Do you have any idea.
    Thanks Lee

    Is there a Pantone colour you are trying to achieve? Some bright greens
    and oranges, (and other colours) are not in the printable gamut. You may
    have to submit a sample to your customer to let them choose the closest match. This is what I usually do if it is a particularly difficult match.

    Cheers,
    Jamie

    just an idea & i know the stuff is expensive but print a color chart & then pick your colors from the chart. Be cheaper than throwing away messed up prints.
