I have the printer since about 1 year. Until recently everything fine; no major issues. In particular, colors pretty much spot on. But now two problems:
1) When printing from LR3, skins tons look awful. Way too much red. I did not change anything in the settings. Specifically, I use the appropriate profile for the paper/printer, setting to perceptual in LR. In teh printer dialogue, I set the appriate paper type choice (as I always did). Before, I never touched the Color Matching Mode, but now see the options ColorSync and Vendor Matching are frayed out. This is because I have selected which profile to use in L34, and therefore LR3 is handling colour management instead of allowing the printer to handle it. Under Main>Color Mode>Set>Matching I see that the Matching Mode is Color Sync and the Input Profile Settings are grayed out as sRGB v3.0 (Canon).
2) So I thought what the heck with LR, go to the printing plug in of PS4, wwhich so for worked like a charm. Used all the usual settings, but then it refuses to print ginving me an error message that the paper profile I am using (which I had used since several months) is an ICCv4 profile and that I should change to Adobe CMM or use an ICC profile that is a version prior to ICCv4. Never had that message before, and then got it with all the ICC profiles I had used for months. So I did install the Adobe CMM, and the printer works. Prints however are much too dark in the shadow areas, as if the black point is wrong, although I used perceptual as allways.
Any help much appreciated. Also, any description of the settings that folks use when printing with the 6300/6350/8300 under LR of the PS plug in.
I am using a calibrated monitor, of course.
Thanks.
