Printing 101
robdickinson:
Hi people! I have mostly up until now hid my head in the sand on printing , relying on professional printers to do my work for me! I have had great results this way but its time to start learning and working on my own prints, if not for sale just for me. I am working on a dell 2711 calibrated and prints from shops come out looking right.
I've been lucky to have just been gifted a canon Pixma pro 1. I know this has some limitations but in general it looks a decent A3+ printer I can certainly get good prints out of.
Except I dont know where to start! I normally just send stuff to my (mg-6150) multi function without doing a whole lot. I use windows (8.1) and photoshop cc.
I will setup the printer this evening, download canons pack of ICC paper profiles, and have a general muck around. Every time I look at printing it seems to rapidly fall down a rabit hole of colour managent etc often with options in apps I cant find etc.

I recommend "The Digital Print" by Jeff Schewe. It covers everything you need to get a good print.
Mark D Segal:
Luminous Landscape "From Camera to Print" video tutorial. Check it out on this website's Shop.
robdickinson:
Thanks, will check them both out. was hoping for an online option so the video may work better.

You may have been led down rabbit holes previously.
Actually with Ps or Lr, the printer and its driver, as well as the appropriate ICC paper/printer profiles you have all you need to deal with colour management as far as setting up an image to print appropriately.
I am making an assumption that you are already using a good monitor that is correctly calibrated and profiled.
The CPS tutorials already recommended will quickly allow you to integrate your entire workflow.
