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

Sorry Mark, yes, I have.
I managed to do one last year, but for the life of me can't remember how I managed it, lol

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.
