Is that "gray" shading or is that just a dirty "purple" from the red and blue overlap? What colors did you use to create the job and how many? Since it's apparently supposed to mimic a stereoscopic look, have you got the colors on separate layers? If so, print them as separations, overprinting each, and mix a little process yellow and magenta to get the red, and use cyan, maybe with a little yellow for the blue. That way you can use the transparency of the ink to get the effect. If you use straight magenta and cyan, the "dirty" purple will probably look a little cleaner.
