The only other thing that jumps to mind would be the paper, check you're printing on the correct side (printing on the wrong side means the paper surface is very fibrous and this can make solid colours look spotted and fuzzy)

Hi Alex,
I'm definitely printing on the right side of the paper and what I'm producing is better than print on demand companies! haha And the rest of the print is fine, just the light colours. I know what you mean about the wrong side though.

When you say not a solid spot colour do you mean that it wouldn't look solid on the screen or is there a deeper level to the colour I might not know about? I filled it in illustrator with one colour and made it into a png. Then put the png into photoshop and printed. It's happening on a lot of light colours so I don't think it's an issue with specific artwork but some kind of over arching misunderstanding about colour?

Maybe something happens to light RGB colours when they go to CYMK?

Thanks! :)
