printing problem magenta cast canon i9900
I have a canon i9900 and am trying to print sRGB .jpgs onto red river
satin paper via photoshop 7. Problem is I get a magenta cast when trying to use ICC profiles. Work flow is like this: 1. open .jpg in photoshop, specify sRGB working space as embedded in jpg (I use adobe now but these were older pictures) 2. print with preview color management: source space = document print space: rr upsatin i9900 (supplied ICC from Red River), choose relative colorimetric, black point compensation 3. click "Print" 4. Printer box comes up- click "properties", on main tab color adjustment set to "manual" and print type set to "none" Then print and the magenta cast can be seen in the preview, before even printing out. Monitor is calibrated. Mostly the reds and oranges have too much magenta. Curiously enough I don't have the problem if print space is set to "printer color management" but that defeats the purpose of using an ICC profile ..what gives? |

printing problem magenta cast canon i9900
Yeah, the i9900 is selected and everywhere it gives me the chance I
have "Glossy Photo Paper" selected and ICM unchecked, Color Adjustment = Manual and Print Type = None. I do not see however where I can explicitly select 'no color management.' I thought that having ICM uncheck and print type None was effectively doint that. |

I don't use a Canon printer, so I do not know how to set the printer dialogues to ensure it is not Colour Managing. A Magenta cast usually indicates double Colour Management. Once in PS and again in the Printer. When you stopped PS from C. Managing by selecting "Printer Management" in the Print Space, you were then letting only the Printer do the Corrections and were getting Correct Prints. This confirms that CM was being applied twice, and when you changed the workflow it was only being done once, and it was only being done in the Printer. I presume that somehow the Printer is now using the correct ICC Profile, or that one of its own built in Profiles is a very close match to the Red River one. There are obvious dangers in this system, since you do not seem to be able to control which Profile the Printer selects, and some change to some other Printer setting might well cause the use of another and incorrect profile. I have seen instructions in a previous Thread, about how to stop a Canon Printer applying C. M., but it was much more complicated than with an Epson. With a little luck or some perseverance on your part you may find out how to do that, and then be able to return to letting PS do the CM, without any interferance from the Printer.. Until then just continue letting the Printer do it, and hope it keeps picking the correct Profile. Roy G |

You are using double color management. Off the printer color management when
you use 3rd party paper ICC profile or any custom profile. "Roy" wrote in message ... wrote in message ups.com...

It is off. That's the problem...color
adjustment set to "manual" and print type set to "none" in printer driver. |

ups.com... It is off. That's the problem...color adjustment set to "manual" and print type set to "none" in printer driver. Hi there again. I am certain that your technique of setting to "Manual" and then print type "None", is not turning off CM. From the little I can remember, it was much more complicated than that. When you did this, and allowed PS to CM you got Prints which had all the classic symptoms of Double CM. When you prevented PS doing any CM by specifying "Printer management" in the Print Space box, the symptoms went away. So it is obvious that your Printer was still applying CM. Perhaps not using the correct profile, but getting fairly close. If you ask on this group, someone will be able to give you the exact routine to turn off CM in a Canon. Once you get that info, you can revert to allowing PS to do the CM using your Red River Profile. Roy G |

ups.com... I have a canon i9900 and am trying to print sRGB .jpgs onto red river satin paper via photoshop 7. Problem is I get a magenta cast when trying to use ICC profiles. I have been following this thread+responses. It does sound like you are doing everything correctly. Have you successfully printed on any media other than the red river satin? Note that at least one poster had similar persistent color cast problems on an i9900 but a replacement was OK. This pdf pretty much sums up how to set CM with a Canon printer: http://www.qualiteitems.com/canon.pdf And just a sanity check: for sure in the printer driver all Effects are disabled? If I had this problem, I would probably try reinstalling the printer driver, rebooting between uninstall/reinstall. |
