I've used a Canon iPF6100 for a number of years now and still love it. My one frustration has been trying to print on the Museo Large Artist cards -- you can't. Because the paper is 11 inches long, but "only" 7.25" wide, you can't make it work. (At least I haven't been able to.)
Several months ago, I bought a Canon 9500 Mark II to solve my occasional smaller print problem. I recently used Lightroom to print some Museo cards and I was unhappy with the output. Using the Museo profile and Lightroom to manage, the color output was downright weak and lacked punch and contrast. The B&W was slightly better, but no where near my results from my iPF6100.
I just printed the same images from Photoshop, same setup, etc., and what a huge difference. The color matched my monitor. The B&W was better, though was reminiscent of the old Epson magenta/B&W cast.
My big question is, why is Lightroom's color output so different from Photoshop? Both are suppose to be managed color workflows, yet the result with the 9500, using the same profile, was very different.
Thanks for the thoughts.
