New to the printing world. I have no idea why this is happening. It’s a Mutoh printer gets to the end of the job and fades to orange. Also I went to complete a job I starting last Friday. Same file same CMYK values and is producing a different red. A darker red.

Looks like your magenta nozzles missing. I would check ink first. It could be simply bad magenta ink. Then check your ink lines if there are any air bubbles? It could be head damper need to be replaced. What is the printer model?

It’s a VJ1624x. Also is it typical to have to adjust the output colors for every color every time you start a job. My only experience with printing has been with in the last 3 months no real training basically it been thrown into my lap.

This is called ink starvation, can be as "Nebo" mentioned earlier air bubbles, clogged damper or bad print head.
Inspect the ink lines first for any leak, run initial charge for ink and see the results if every thing comes out fine then your done, else replace dampers first and head if neccessary.
I'm assuming that you are using OEM or premium aftermarket ink and the print head was working properly
