ICC profiles for TS8220

AlexPermit — Sat, 10 Nov 2018 06:18:58 GMT

I own a TS8220. Where can I find it's ICC profiles for Canon papers? I can't find them on my computer, nor do I see them in the support/download section. The only profile related to the printer on my computer is for the printer itself, labeled "Canon IJ Color Printer Profile 2015".

Without the profiles, I'm not able to effectively soft proof my images in Photoshop. Also, I prefer to have photoshop manage color, since this improves my workflow. Without ICC profiles, I am unable to do that.

Greetings,

I do not believe there are any ICC Profiles available for the TS8220 which is effectivelya hobbyist grade printer.

Supports:

Plain: Plain Paper, Canon High Resolution Paper;
Super High Gloss: Photo Paper Pro Platinum;
Glossy: Photo Paper Plus Glossy II, Photo Paper Glossy;
Semi-Gloss: Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss, Photo Paper Pro Luster;
Matte: Matte Photo Paper
Other: Fine Art Paper Support, Greeting Cards, Printable CD/DVD/Blu-ray Discs , T-Shirt Transfers, U.S. #10 Envelopes

You'd have to ask Canon what "Other: Fine Art Paper Support" includes

ICC Profiles are available for PIXMA Pro series.

That's unfortunate. I guess I will have to make my own.

Not at all sure what "Other: Fine Art Paper support" means. Under the printer driver there is an entry for every available canon photo paper, and one for "other photo paper". No indication what that means. I had assumed it was some sort of generic profile.

Unfortunately I don't have the space for a pro series printer. The TS8220 makes pretty nice photographs, especially for a compact all in one. It would have seeemed trivial for Canon to provide profiles since they already must have them.
