    speak to the person who designed it, have they designed and saved it as cmyk colours?

    just a thought!

    I would try saving in a different format and print from that.

    if source file is in PSD, this will be a mask layer (screen Option) , that results change in color.

    Hi josh, we get this to, it’s a problem with transparencies or lenses, there are a few work a rounds, save as a jpg this is what roland tell you to do,

    or place the file in to indesign if you have it, and save as a PDF, works 95% of the time,

    you can also place the file in to illustrator flatten the transparencies works 50% of the time,

    Good luck,

    I think I would import the file into Photoshop and flatten all layers/image then Save as a tiff or jpeg.
