I recently bought the imagePROGRAF PRO-1100. And I've used it with Canons Platinum Pro (PT-101) and Photo Paper Pro Luster (LU-101) and also with Hahnemühles Photo Rag Ultra Smooth. All prints have been excellent so far.
But I also have two old boxes with Canons Glossy Photo Paper (GP-501). And I would like to use these papers for less demanding printing.
But I can't understand what profile in the Media Configuration Tool is best to use for this paper? Maybe "Plus Glossy II A", or "Light Photo Paper" or "Heavy Photo Paper"? Or is there an ICC-profile I can upload and import to the Media Configuration Tool?
I can of course do some experimenting, but that will cost me a lot of ink...
Does anyone have any good ideas on this topic?
If you're trying to use Canon's Glossy Photo Paper (GP-501) with your imagePROGRAF PRO-1100, you have a few options to experiment with the Media Configuration Tool. While there isn't a dedicated profile for GP-501, you could start with profiles that are similar in texture and weight.
"Plus Glossy II A" is likely the closest match because it's designed for glossy finishes, which should work well with GP-501. Alternatively, you could try "Light Photo Paper" if you find "Plus Glossy II A" to be too ink-intensive, or "Heavy Photo Paper" if the prints look too washed out or lack depth.
For best results without wasting too much ink, try printing a small test image with each profile and see which one gives you the best balance of quality and ink usage. Unfortunately, there isn't a specific ICC profile for GP-501 in the Media Configuration Tool, but these steps should help you get pretty close to the desired output.
Hope this helps!
