paper profiling for a client - Canon

[NeilPrintArt]

Hello!
I have a client who has asked me as a favour to profile a paper for their new Canon Pro-1100. He is using macOS and printing out of Lightroom.

Generally I don't create profiles for other people, but I do make all of my own. I have only ever used Epson. I use i1Profiler to make targets, print from Mirage which allows for 'no colour management/profile printing', then scan with my i1Pro2 and i1Profiler. I have a good handle on my own workflow, but have never made a profile on another set-up?

Can Lightroom print the target with "no colour management"?
Is there anything different about making a profile for Canon?
Theoretically I can just send him a target and give instructions to print untagged with no colour management and he sends printed target back to me and I scan it? Right?

With thanks
Neil

No LR cannot print without color management.

I suggest you get the client to print a test chart using Adobe Colour Print Utility which can then be sent to you by snail mail.

FWIW, the last few versions of macOS, most certainly Tahoe, have broken ACPU. The likelihood that Adobe will fix it seems slim.

With the Canon PRO1100 the best option is to use Canon’s Professional Print & Layout to print the targets. This bypasses the OS printing pipeline and sends the data direct to the printer. There is an option to print without colour management in the app. You can find it under ‘Color Mode’ as ‘No Color correction’. I have tested it and can confirm that it works satisfactorily.

I forgot to add that Canon's Professional Print & Layout is a free download from the Canon website.
