Help! Greys look green!

Side note: I am colorblind.

Thank you all for your advice. I have gotten a lesser greenish grey by adjusting PF before print. Still a little green. Next I will try creating my own swatches and I believe I will also start designing in CMYK to help the rip process work less and be more accurate.

At this point I just tell customers grey looks green and try to prepare them. I don’t have the patience more the free time to block off my work flow to try and fix all of this companies problems. I have suggested hiring professionals, people who know what they are doing and they don’t want to pay. So their problem isn’t my problem until I have no other option. Right now, I just do what I can.

"due to fellers support telling me that’s fine because these printers (mutoh Xpertjet) are just big desktop printers now."

in much the same way that elon musk's latest design is just like the bottle rocket i lit when i was 4 years old

fellers may give you a good deal from time to time, but, they should not be your source for technical support & engineering

I have an xpertjet too, and believe me, u are loosing a lot of that machine without an x1. The built in profiles are too much ink conservative and u loosing loooot of gamut. If u like the black or red using that profiles on RGB ur mind will blow with an xrite. Dont loose time trying to save some dollars. An sprectro is a must have in any print shop.

Yes! anyone who isn't building their own profiles is making excuses for a sickly RUST COLOR that should be a fire engine red

canned profiles can compensate for the range of variation in inks, substrates, etc, but couldn't POSSIBLY compensate for the condition of the printheads (and too many other variables to count) in YOUR PARTICULAR MACHINE
