Getting weird outline on mouth, eyes, hands, skin on banner

[limmer88]

Working on a school project, we are getting strange orange, black, red outline on mouth, hands, nose, hairline, etc when printing using VG-640 machine. We use CorelDraw 2019. Can't figure this out so any help is appreciated. I will attach an image.

Kind of looks like over saturation. Try turning the heat up. Also, print the same file on some other material and see if it does the same thing.

I was thinking this thread was going to be about some mysterious desiese.

Looks like ink pooling... density is likely too high. Try another profile, reduce ink loading or try another material.
We used to get this on a certain brand of canvas material. Only thing that fixed it in that instance was using something else entirely.

the touched up areas are in CMYK and the rest of the photo is RGB,

I don't think this is actually possible. A document is in either one color mode or another.

I agree with the above suggestions, but if they don't help, some color profiles suck at the gradiations of shadows.
I would size down and rip the same picture using several profile.

It looks like overoptimization and posterization. It's possible that someone used Photoshop to "enhance" the photo and make it "punchier". Sometimes this is the result. Otherwise, it could be your sign software or RIP which is doing the same thing.

I would recommend he cut down on dairy, and leave the pork alone.
Allow fresh air in room during sleeping.

Yes, and also what happens in Vegas or Thailand stays in Vegas or Thailand.
