Any advice on printing reds on a solvent ink printer? I'm running a Seiko Colorpainter 64S with FlexiSign Pro 8.5. I'm not experienced enough to make my own color profiles, so I downloaded some profiles from the Avery website (printing on Avery vinyl) and have been using those. But I just can't get it to print red. It's either too orange or brown. We recently lost our profit on a job because we couldn't get the red color right and had to outsource to a wholesale printer to get it right. I'd really like to learn more about this so it doesn't happen again.
A little background on me...
I'm fairly new to the sign business. Been working here 5 years now, but only running this printer for the last 2 years. My boss has no experience running this thing and made it my job to get it up and running and learn how to use it. So I'm mostly self taught. We purchased it used from another sign company (who took horrible care of it). The Seiko tech worked his magic (spent lots of our money) and got it back in pretty good working order. He's also the one who helped me to learn to use it. So that's about the extent of my knowledge.
Any help would be appreciated
