Color Managament in ProGraf Pro1000

[jsk53]

I have just upgraded printers from the Canon Pixma Pro 9500 MkII to the new Canon ProGraf Pro 1000.  I got great prints from the Pro 9500 MkII but I wanted the bigger paper size the Pro 1000 gives me. Since the upgrade, I have a bunch of questions I don’t really see answers to in the manual. No particular order to my questions as I just jotted them down as I went along.

Does using specific paper .icc profiles take the place of custom or common color calibrations on the Prograf Pro 1000?

If so, how do you turn off printer color management in the Pro 1000 driver setup?

On my 9500Pro Mkll I was able to turn off printer color management and use the printer .icc setup in LIghtroom to manage color from my calibrated monitor. It does not appear I can do that in the ProGraf Pro1000 software. If I use the .icc profile for my paper in the Canon Print Studio Pro software, do I set the Lightroom print module to printer manages color?  I would think if I use both the Lightroom module to set the .icc as well as the Canon Print Studio software to the same .icc profile, it would be a potential conflict? Or, do I set the Canon software color management to auto and use Lightroom to choose the .icc profile?

I also noticed that in Lightroom, I have the color space set to ProPhoto RGB which I am told is the best color space to use for printing. When I open Print Studio Pro, it shows the embedded color space on the image as Adobe RGB 1998 and I cannot change that setting. If Lightroom has the image as Pro Photo and the printer driver Adobe RGB, how can soft proofing work?

Any direction I can get will be very much appreciated. I really want  to take advantage of all the great features of this printer. Thanks.

You've downloaded and installed thge Canon driver from the Canon support site?

Yes on a number of occasions but only via the 'bonjour route'...so when i go into PS/LR the print drivert fucntion is limited...i have not seen the Canon IJ when installing the driver

Thanks am on phone with Cannon UK - i fear you know more than them; all they can say is 'that's weird'...

[paul1958]

So reset printing system is their answer otherwise they have no idea...could be going back if this does not work and a move to EPSON...

I recommend downloading and installing Canon driver, deleting the Bonjour printer, and reinstalling printer, waiting for Canon driver to appear when you go to add. It should work; I've helped several this way.

I have tried this on a number of occasions - tried both full package driver and printer driver, cleared everything from my system ie printers from library/all downloads/system prefs via trash then emptied this - not sure of course where the actual drivers are located - and restarted; waited for up to 30 minutes when adding printer all to no avail...so open to any other suggestions while i wait for Canon UK to come up with an answer...

I'm at a loss Paul.

Me too especially as PSP is printing fine via the plug in for LR & PS...have just re-connected the printer to the wirelss LAN and am going to give it one more go...

[paul1958]

Ok John finally solved it for LR & PS. In this dialogue box i put in the IP address of the printer and hey presto...

Thanks for your input - learnt a lot.

Cheers
