I am having a real problem getting good profiles for the 2 Canon iPF6100 and 6 iPF5100 printers in our college print lab using PS v12 (CS5) and LR v3. Skin tones are too magenta, the blues skew towards green, and the blacks and dark shadows are filling in black about 15% before they should. There are also slight differences between the output of both of those programs using the same printer profiles on the same printers and paper.
Hardware:
- Mac 2.66 Quad-Cores, OS X 10.6.4, Eizo ColorEdge CG222W Display (i1Pro and ColorEyes Display Pro calibrated)
- Canon iPF5100 and 6100 printers Firmware v1.38
Papers:
- Canon Heavyweight Satin Photographic Paper
- Canon Heavyweight Glossy Photographic Paper
- Fine Art Bright White
- Graphic Matte Canvas Hi Brite
Printer profiling process:
- Bill Atkinson 5202 Patch RGB Targets printed from Photoshop v11.0 (CS4) with no colour management
- dry overnight
- Read with eye-one iSis XL and MeasureTool v5.0.10
- Profile created in ProfileMaker 5.0.10
- Profile Size: Large
- Perceptual Rendering Intent: Neutral Gray
- Gamut Mapping: LOGO Classic (also tried Colorful and Chroma Plus)
I am getting consistent profiles (tried 4 times) using this workflow, so something else is wrong here and I'm not sure what to try. I'm new to this high-level of colour calibration and I've been trying to read as much as I can in traditional books and online, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any info or your thoughts would be most appreciated!
TIA
Chris
