I have a new Pro-100, the color is red/magenta

[GreggBarckholtz]

I have a new Pro-100, the color is consistently red/magenta, I have used both canon luster and semigloss papers and matching profiles.

I have made the same exact print on my Epson with perfect results, same paper, today

I have the ICC profiles, I am letting Photoshop do the color.

Thanks Gregg

I redid my instalationof the ICC profiles for the pro-100 from HAHNEMUHLE for my Hahnemuhle papers I use, following the directions from Red River, still they do not show up when I go to print from PSP.

Sorry this is taking a lot of your time and patients.

Thank YOU

It works for me. They should show up in the Printer Profile dropdown.

I'll post a screen shot.

Are you using PSP 2.0.0?

[GreggBarckholtz]

On my form at the top it asks for media type, I thought that was the paper.......
But like you pointed out if I go to printer profile, the paper options comes up.
It does not over ride the media type choice from the top of the window???

Without your help I would have given up! Thank YOU

OK the color is great! But why does it not print to the 8x10 the print was cropped in photoshop.

Now when I look at the preview I can see, just like it printed that it is not 8x10.

That is a little confusing for a lot of people.

"Some folks feel PSP is unncessary, and in principle they are right ... "

   And I would be one of them.  However, I am not a Mac user so I can't rightfully say about them.  I do think the latest PSP is pretty good.  At least it is getting better.  It is getting there just like the latest DPP4.  For Windoze, I still see it as unnecessary but who knows, it may get better yet.

OK so I set up the ICC profiles for the printer and used them for my Hahnemuhle Silk and Yuck!

Also tried doing borderless, so I would get the 8x10, well it printed to 8.5x11, the paper size I used.

So now I have one image 7x9 and one 8.5x11 neither 8x10

Also the print on the silk is terrible looking.

I had been using Canon Semigloss

3 days into my new printer and going backwards......

Media Type is the Canon paper surface. You will see that they are all Canon paper names. Every third-party profile should call out what Canon media type to select. Printer Profile controls how the ink is laid down.

You may need to play with the Layout tab. There is an interplay between paper size, margins and cell size. Plus my experience is all with Lightroom.

Why can't they send a manual on how to use the printer in the box?

I love that everyone is trying to help, but honestly, if I ran my business like this I would not have one. Does Canon have a help line?

Hahnemuehle says to use Other Glossy Paper as the media type Silk Baryta 310.

I print on that paper with excellent results.

You can download an very helpful, searchable On-screen manual for the printer from the Canon website.

Plus there are two PDFs that get installed in the folder for Print Studio Pro.
