Hi All,
I'm trying to do a run of small 8x10 prints on my Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer that I've barely used. These prints are being used as promo pieces for much larger prints that I've had printed somewhere else.
I want to use the same paper as the larger prints so I'm printing on Canson Rag Photographique and when I use the ICC profile downloaded from Canson's website the prints look awful. Washed out, dark and the colors are way off. When I use one of Canon's default profiles (Matte photo Paper) with the Canson paper the print is almost spot on when compared to existing prints of the same image.
So I guess I'll just stick with some other profile and forget about the Canson specific ICC? This seems weird to me. I have never printed seriously on my own so there is a possibility that there is a box checked somewhere I've missed. But I'm printing from the same image file that was used to create the larger prints.
I'm using the Canon Print Studio Pro plugin from within Photoshop CC on a Mac running a calibrated NEC PA30 display. I've had the same images printed at two separate printers and they're all pretty darn close to what I see on my screen.
I did a search and found this thread from a while back and it sounds exactly like my problem:
