I was forced to change to Adobe Lightroom and on top of all that (with my 87+ thousand pictures to reorganise) deal with this whole new world of ICC profiles I just can't seem to print a reasonable looking photo. I used to just print (using the AirPrint driver I now realise) from Apple Aperture, and I did over 100 prints and they were fine (not amazing, sure - but fine).Nothing that would immediately correlate with my problem. LGY (I had just changed for a non canon cartridge) needed a clean (which then make GY worse) but otherwise no real issues. Performed a nozzle check - just for the sake of thoroughness.As above it's Kodak, specifically " Kodak Premium Photo Paper : Gloss 240 GSM, 4圆".I realise that PhotoPro wasn't a printing profile but, having tried all those, I thought "let's see what a screen profile does, in case I get lucky and it kinda matches".As there are no ICC profiles for this I was trying to find which one was closest. I am trying different paper profile types because I am using Kodak 4圆" paper (which I got at a good price from the local office supplies chain store) and that's what I had been using prevously.Yes, I had printed the test image out and it was pretty darn good (albeit on 4圆"), nothing seriously concering there when using the guide to evaluate.Thanks for responding so proptly, and for pitching in to help. I used to just print straight from Apple Aperture and never had any problems (other than the very slight washed out look) which now I would happily get back. I could really use some guidance on this. I then tried to use ProPhoto RGB - just to see if screen presets got me anywhere - only to get a completely different problem! (like the film '300') a sort of low saturation, bronze look. Why am I getting these weird effects? It's either lobster skin (using one preset - Platinum I think) to overcharged skin tones and detail loss using others). I tried playing with lots of settings (burning through appear and ink) and I can't work out what's going on. I tried swapping between Printer Managed and Not - and nothing I did changed it. then I started to lose detail and highlights were blowing out on skin tones and people were getting a real oversaturated pink /orange glow. The first couple of prints seemed fine as above. ![]() BUT I do still get a slightly hazy desaturated print compared to the screen.ĮDIT: I spoke too soon. Now I just need to work out how to colour manage sync Photoshop/Lightrooom with my Pixma Pro 100s - without spending hundreds on hardware monitor calibration. I had ' AirPrint' not IJ series this whole time and was going mad trying to work out how to start getting my settings straight. THAT was a super helpful point!! Thank you. [Using Mac OS (latest OS) / Canon PRO-100s / Kodak Premium photo paper 240gsm jrhoffman75 and I dont feel like I understand it any better. i've wasted hours on this and it's still not as good as it should be. I really wish there was some straightforward way to set this up. ![]() It's still printing a fraction washed out but at least it looks vaguely normal. The only thing that seemed to return it to normal was actually going into Lightroom and Selecting : Colour Management > Managed by Printer. then did a test print and the magenta was still there. I then tried adjusting the colour on screen until it looked kind of ok again like it should printed. I tried assigning a colour profile in Photoshop that matched to see what would happen and it was ghastly (Using Canon-Pro 100s Other Glossy Paper). ![]() following the idea of letting Lightroom / photoshop manage colour. I then tried various things from this forum. That explanation got me to re-install the printer using the correct driver.
