I keep my (old) monitor calibrated using Spyder4, am very familiar with using LR and PS, but last winter all prints, and even the pre-print monitor examples show an overall red tint. My old Canon printer was ready to go, so I installed a Canon MG7520 and the red problem is still there. In Photoshop I've tried various printer profiles, also 'printer manages colors' 'PS manages colors', but no help.
I can do anything I want with colors in PS of course, but even carefully removing the red tint also takes away some of the quality, especially in skin tone.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Can you post a link to an image you sent to a print service - high resolution, profile embedded, everything.

Post your workflow:
- Shoot RAW?
- Open to Photoshop with which color profile?
- Any color profile conversions before you print / send to lab?
- Do you ever assign a color profile?

I find it best when using a lab to keep things in sRgb - not all labs know what a color profile is, they assume sRgb. Converting to the expected printer color profile doesn't help, it can do sRgb profile conversions easily.
