Printing green instead grey?
I am having issues with my cadet sp540. I haven’t had it long to test it to its true ability just bought it from a signshop on ebay who I believe is also a member on here as well, but i’ve done a few small jobs. Anyways I’ve just had time to start marketing things & got a few jobs in. I am having an issue with printing grey?
I am trying to print a pvc banner and working from photoshop & saving as a tiff. I’ve tried leaving the colour mode in RGB & also tried converting it to CMYK, made sure the logos hold no colour so they are desaturated so there’s no colour only black background, white text & a facebook & twitter logo thats in greys. Now I can’t for the life of me work out what am doing wrong? I’ve tried exporting it as a eps and then tried loading it into illustrator & then saving it as a tiff and I just can’t seem to work out what is going wrong. I’ve tried a number of different ways using different formats & programs. I’ve tried changing the profiles etc in versaworks and if anything it turns the black green.
Versaworks settings are just default, i’ve attached some examples.
Anyone had a similar problem? I need urgent help been testing different things all night and no luck. 🙁
and here’s versaworks, I took a sniplet of the logos so I wasn’t wasting media.

Starting at the begining, I’m assuming you’ve done a test print (CMYK) to determine that all colours are coming through?
Another think to check is that you have the right ink cartridge inserted into each colour (i.e yellow is yellow, cyan is cyan etc.) I once transposed a couple of cartridges which resulted in some weird colours 😳

My guess would be poor colour profiles. Have you got a pantone chart you can try printing?

Adam try using the roland colour system library in Illustrator. This churns out exactly the colour you choose. It is probably the most reliable method.
