Just got a Pixma Pro 100. Printing out a B&W image in PS but it's coming out with a blue cast. The image was orignally coverted to B&W in LR.

Hi Bob. It doesn’t show bluish on my iPhone. Can you try viewing under different lighting?

John, I just tried a color image and it's coming out darker and muddier than the screen. This is the icc profile I'm using - cifa_pixmapro100_baryta310

Here's the image:

Download this test image Bob. Open it in your software and print it without any adjustments. Disregard how it looks on your screen.

I am involved in a commitment the rest if tonight, so can’t answer back till tomorrow.

Can you try a different paper? Maybe a Canon paper?

That's the original image! I'll take a photo of the print with my iPhone tomorrow when I have more light here.

Hi Bob. The images you posted don't seem to have anything to do ith the Outback Photo test image, and they look fine on my computer.

Don't be offended, but I'll ask the items that have affected previous folks I've helped:

1. verify that there is no tape left on the top of any cartridges

2. did you run a nozzle check

3. verify correct side of paper

4. sometimes viewing light can affect how monochrome prints look.

Does it happen if you hse Canon paper?

Can you install Canon Print Studio Pro and try using that to print?

Re: B&W image is printing blueish

That's a good idea. I'll try the Canon paper and Print Studio Pro.

If you are still having issues give Canon a call at 1-800-OK-CANON

A B&W image worked using Canon paper. Must be an issue with the icc profile which I don't get - I just downloaded it from Canson.

Try downloading the profile from the Canson site.

Hi John, I did this before. Contacting Canson to see if there's an issue.

Trying Epson Premium Matte with the Canon setting. See how that goes!

Hi John I got it working - for Canson Baryta - Media Type needed to be set to Photo Paper Pluse Semi Gloss. Thanks for your help.
