Cheapo paper and no ICC color profiles

Sensel

I have some Polaroid Premium Photo Paper and some NCR Photo-A-Peel photo paper.

 

There is no ICC color profile for the Canon Pixma Pro-100 for these papers. Gee, I wonder why

 

But, I was wondering, does anyone have the profiles for them for the Pixma Pro-100?

 

Long shot but, well…

If not, how do you approach printing on no ICC color profile papers like this?

No, I am not buying a printer color managment profile device. Just, would like to use up the paper.

The Canon help person said to just pick the basic ICC for that type of paper. There is a basic glossy ICC: "2 Other Glossy Paper". It worked fine.

Select a Canon media type that has similar surface and run a test print

 

You can go into the printer driver and print a test pattern that varies the inks and pick a combination that looks best to you. 

 

Then you dial in those settings. 

 

Use this test print

Use the Canon printer to handle the color (no ICC choice) and just choose the similar type of paper surface for media (Glossy, Matte, etc.).This seems to work the best.
