PIXMA G3270 color faded when printing

[Shawn005]

OK, I have the dreaded color fade problem.  I bought a G3270. 

I have played around with pretty much 'all' the settings for the printer, and I haven't found a good combination to get close to the IX6800 test page, or to get my screw driver guy to look comparable to the digital file.

I've played with the following setting:

Profile: Photo printing, standard

media type: Plain paper, Matte photo paper, Glossy paper

Color/Intensity (Manually): various settings, which don't seem to do much

Color management: changing ICC profiles to the same one the monitor has, but I'm not to clear on ICC profiles

Print Processor: changing this to see if it makes a difference.  so far it doesn't.

Nozzle Check Pattern:

what I get

Test page from an Cannon IX6800, the Blotches are unrelated to printing

from IX6800, Don't mind the extra blotches

Test Page from the G3270:  I printed on both sides to use less paper for testing.

Cannot find Paper Type or Matte Photo. I found Printing Preferences > Media, but the choices were only Auto select, Plain Paper, Photo Paper, or Envelope (plain). Can you be a little more specific where this option is located, please?

I figured it out!! Kinda lol.  Gotta get another Canon App:  Canon Easy Print Photo Editor .   Upload your picture. change paper size to 8.5 to 11 . Under Media Type:  Plain Paper .  Unclick the Borderless printing ( no check mark)  and print. TAADAAAAA!!!!!!   Gosh I so miss plug and print printers.
