Re: Can't get royal blue, any ideas?

Post by Kaz »

I need to do a mug with royal blue text on, but can't get it right.

I'm setting it as cyan in the colour palette in corel, and it's printing out a greenish-grey, and pressing as a yucky green shade.

I'm using a ricoh with the powerdriver profile and trupix paper.

Any ideas on how to get it royal blue are most welcome.

Thanks

LOL, senior member goes for nothing, it just means I spout a lot more drivel than you ;-)

Yup, paper right way round, everything is as it was last time I printed.

I'm baffled as to why my royal blue is coming out yucky green when pressed :(

I reckon you need more magenta in the mix. Pull it back toward the blue. Having said that...... I know naaathing when it comes to this bit of the game.

We have often had the opposite problem of a royal blue heading toward the purple side with it having too much magenta. This is where we have printed of a mug full of blue pantone squares.
