10d and I950 printer (profiles!)

[davekone]

Is there ICC profiles out to match the i950 to the colors the 10d is seeing/producing? I read in the "Short Course in EOD 10d Photography" that using the Adobe color space on the 10d will produced unsaturated pictures on the Canon BJ printers. This is exactly my results, but usinf the SRGB colorspace on the 10d the i950 yields great results. Anyone have luck using Adobe color space and a Canon i950 printer?

Thanks
David

Not with that printer, per se, but with all printers if you don't set up Photoshop to view the image with in preview mode. The preview should connect to your printer profile. On a calibrated monitor, and assuming an accurate printer profile, you'll see what you get.

I always correct for color to the Adobe color space because it has a wider gamut and describes more colors. Then, I can target the image for any printer without leaving anything on the table. After correction, I save the file and make a copy that will be just for printing. Then I turn the printer preview on, and adjust the saturation, contrast, and color balance (and other targeting activities like resampling and sharpening again) to make an image that will look good on the printer. If converting the color space of the file is what it takes, I'll do it on that copy targeted to that specific printer, rather than potentially giving up some colors by going to a more compressed color space like sRGB.
