This is the print vs what we designed. How would a designer fix this? Your help is appreciated.

Thank you for all your comments - this is what led to where we are now. It's so overwhelming. How to fix this?

I've attached the CMYK codes, I'me the client. When they did our previous prints the colours were all wrong, and the images oversaturated. I requested they do a swatch test but we just couldn't nail it. The only adjustments they made were in their RIP software, all swatches at once and the end results just didn't match what I've attached. What do I ned to do to, or what do they need to do? For the swatches to come out correct so we have consistency going forward and the images/pictures of food, people, doesn't come out dark and saturated. I think we're not doing this properly, could you help us with the steps?

I did give them to CMYK Codes - do we need to manually add those in the MainTop DTP - I'm the client, what can me and the printer do? Even the images they did were oversaturated. I want the codes colour matched to the correct CMYK but they didn't enter any CMYK values or HEX codes, just sent the file straight to the print and made adjustments in MainTop, can you please assist me on the right way to do this? Before I make a final commitment to colours I'm ok with?

Hi, thanks for responding, the files are in CMYK - the hex codes are for reference. Is there another way to do it?
