theres is so much to answer that.... you need to learn about profiles... color settings... rendering intent. there is not a simple answer. just start researching and learn it will take a while.

For the Red I use the Roland color swatch PR43K and let it swap out in Versaworks. Gives me kicking reds. On the black I use photoshops black build (75C, 68M, 67Y, 90K) but up the K to 100%

For a nice rich black in flexi using no color correction on the redering intent tab under the vector & text on the cmyk & others category, I use 15 15 15 100 and it prints a perfect rich black.

Reds can be achieved in a couple different ways. Your environment is a very important part of printing consistant.

But as luggnut stated, you need to learn the color side of it. I have been creating profiles for 3 years and I still have alot to learn. So just start reading and applying your knowledge.
