Canon i9900 and Apple 23" HD Display

[Moody Blues]

I finally broke down and bought this printer. I love the qaulity but the prints look about 20% darker than the monitor and histogram portray them. My monitor is set to AdobeRGB profile. Is there a printer profile that I can turn on to match what I am getting on the screen

I'm guessing that you are using a printer profile based on the paper you are using. I would also try setting the monitor profile to the 23" HD (or Apple Cinema) that is canned with any new mac.

What do you mean when you say that your "monitor is set to Adobe RGB profile"? Do you mean that your working space in Photoshop (or whatever editor you are using) is set to Adobe RGB? The monitor profile is set at the operating system level and it should be set to the default monitor profile that came with the display (or built-in for Mac OS X) or it should be set to the profile that you created when you calibrated the monitor.

As for the printer, the same thing applies. You can either use the default profile for the printer/paper combo that came with the printer or you can create your own profile using a printer calibration tool (expensive stuff :shock: ) or you can buy a profile from companies that provide this kind of printer profiling service.

I think I have it now. I messed around with the profiles in CS2 and got some good results. I have saving all my work now in JPG and printing it through the Canon Printing software that came with the printer. I am using the high end Canon paper. The prints are stunning. I have done 2 13X19's. They are fantastic.

im using spyder2 and printfix to calibrate the monitor and the printer with cs2. been using the printer's default profile and i thought the output was stunning until i use the calibrated printer profile..darn i was wrong.....the ouput have more vivid colors and also the skin tone is so natural......oh i switched the camera's color space to adobe RGB and i think this is have more color range....
