[SKCIH]

This is good stuff. I am new to PSCS2 and have a Canon i960 and was having some serious difficulty printing.

Thanks for the help.

Hello people
I have Pixma ip6700d, and as far as I can see I was trying my printer (4 prints so far) at the beginning with double profiling. That have caused red cast in skin tones and a bit darker prints. So I let printer determine colors, and further set the profile in printer dialogue. Works like charm, but gives a little bit brighter print than the one seen on my monitor (which is not calibrated ). I was using Canon Photo Plus Semi-gloss and I'm willing to try out Ilford later on.
Cheers
Vladimir

Guys,
This thread is a WONDERFUL treat! You've sure given me some fascinating information to consider as I try to solve the problems that I'm having with my iP8500.

Thanks to all.

Hi Kevin, please please help, i'm having the exactly the same problem, the pdf instructions from canon are for pc based driver/printer set up screens and all the 'print with preview' instructions, are also totally different to a mac, so there is no ICM button or icc profiles showing up on my mac os x version of the latest i9100 driver/printer set-up, please let me know if you managed to solve the problem, i have 3 portfolio appointments next week and desperatly need to print my latest photography work by monday.
Thanks,
Ben

Ben, what I do - and it seems to work - is the following, re the key options that my setup gives me:

Color Sync - set to Standard
Quality and Media - enter the paper type and select the "printing a top quality photo" button
Color Options - set Color Correction to None

This works for me.

Now, if only I could get Lightroom to print a decent looking image.....

Hi again thanks for getting back to me so soon, and thanks for the awsum advice, i cant believe how much more detailed the drivers are for the pc, it's crazy, i will try and follow your advice and to hope for the best, one last thing, i know there's the issue with ICM button, but also, ive tried down loading about 3 or 4 different drivers, just so i can try to get the canon ICC profiles to show up in my print with preview, set printer profile box, but i cant get a single one to show up, what do you set your printer profile as, thanks again for all the help, and i will look into light room for you, i use it, but i never print from it.

What "issue with the ICM button"?
Profiles should be located in the Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder.

Have a read in the link from my sig.

Hi guys thanks for all the help, i have now taken my complete set up to a company, to have the monitor calibrated, and is now set up as the industry standard for colour and brightness, and the printer is now profiled, and now i use the profile the company gave me when i'm in the print with preview, but even the expert still couldn't get my i9100 print what excatly what is on the screen, i'm still geting a mushy greenish tone in my greys, he said he thinks i should replace the canon printer with a new epson, but it's closer than its been in a long time, i just still wish i could get the canon profile for the photo paper pro to show up in my colour sync folder, even though i have downloaded the lastest driver, no canon printer profiles will show up on my mac ox s colour sync folder, it would just be nice to see if the canon profiles could get my prints closer to what is on the monitor. if anyone can explan why my mac will not show up canon icc profiles in my print with set up, that would be very helful

[René Damkot]

Do a search (Spotlight) to see where the profiles are located.

They are probabely called something like "Canon i9100 MP2" or so.

They should be in either HDD/Library/ColorSync/Profiles or HDD/users/YOU/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
