    If I understand what you are saying. My guess is since RGB has such a wide colour range, your plotter cannot match it. You should conver the image to CMYK, and then print.

    That should do the trick.

    why not print from photoshop?

    ...i have had similar issues in the past when i tried to use alleged better technology to print. but guess what. i am not a professional printer. stick with what you know on printing, and you will have better results.
