Hi all! I am going out of my mind. I am not sure what happened but for some reason my colors in any Image file have gone crazy. All my cmyk RGB or any vector colors are right on. If i print a jpg or anything out of photoshop (mostly in the grays) the print is green??!! I have played with everything I can think of.. I have flexi 8.5 and a prismjet. I also have a valujet.. same files print great... Please help!

The image was brushed silver alum

If some files print ok and some don't, then it's not a problem with your printer.

You are most likely printing directly from photoshop with one or more of the settings out of whack.

Save it as a tif and apply the right profile, then send the tif to your rip and see what happens.

Yep, most likely double-applying color management. If you're printing out of PS to Flexi and Flexi is doing color management you need to tell Photoshop that the printer will handle the output color settings. Just guessing at your workflow, I haven't used Flexi.
