I have a new Pixma Pro-100. My prints are dark and the colors way off.

Prints are much darker than on screen and the colors are reddish and muddy.  I am using PS CC 2015 with Canon Print Studio Pro.  Also tried letting the printer drive the color matching.  Tried printing from Apple's Photos.  Tried with and without ICC profiles.  Tried Canon and Red River papers.  All the same.  Dark and reddish cast.  Canon support was useless.

 

I have calibrated the iMac monitor using Apples supplied tool.  I have a Spyder2 which will not work with current OS.  Prints are so far off in both color and brightness that I doubt it is the monitor.  Also, the same computer did fine with other Canon printers.

 

Help!

 

Thanks

For B&W be sure whatever paper you choose has no optical brightening agents OBAs. They can give a color cast to your prints.
