Perhaps I will have to cave and purchase a calibration device. This is my first venture into printing large images myself. My last printer was by no means a photo printer so I have nothing to compare. What confuses me however is on test prints where I allow photoshop to adjust the photo to what it thinks is ideal and then it is controlling the printing, shouldnt the picture look fine ? Photoshops automatic controls are not dependent on what the monitor is showing are they ? However, I may be wrong with that and will try that step next time I print. I have not actually gone into the Pro-100 properties and turned off the color management as my understanding is photoshop elements is turning it off with the steps I follow. no changes allowed) which supposedly indicates that the printer controls are disabled. I followed directions whereby when I go to print I check the color settings (on a mac) and they are all gray, i.e. I "think" the printer control is shut off. I have been very careful with that, to choose the correct ones. I use Lightroom, but believe the Photoshop adjustments should be essentially the same.Īctually I am printing on Red River paper thus far and I use all of their corresponding ICC profiles. I have the Pixma Pro 100, and my prints are, consistently, very close to what I expect them to be, based on the monitor (with or without "soft proofing"). Then-equally important!-in your Pro-100 properties, turn off color management (via Main-Color Intensity-Manual-Matching-None). To do so, have Photoshop control the color management, with the correct ICC profile (your printer comes with ones for Canon papers most third-party papers provide ones that are specific to your printer). Monitor brightness for photo printing is a lot less than you might be used to! Are your results different from a prior printer?Ģ) I may be wrong, but it sounds as though you aren't using printer/paper-specific ICC profiles. 1) Without monitor calibration, what you think of as turning the brightness down may not be sufficient.
