Lightroom Classic - Softproofing Canon Pixma Pro-100

I have a Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and use Lightroom Classic.   I have some Red River paper and have downloaded and installed the papers from the Red River Site.    I have calibrated my Monitor with Data Color Spyder Elite.

 

When I get the picture just right on my screen I softproof it using Lightroom with the correct profile for the printer and paper.  The softproof alwasy seems to show a lot of Out of Gamut colors.   I have tried to minimize those by playing with curves and saturation and hue sliders but I do not want to change the colors too drastically. 

 

I seems to have a problem with other Papers as well,  Moab and Canon papers.   

 

I have tried printing despite the out of gamut and there are noticible differences between the print and the image so it seems the colors are out of gamut.   

 

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forum paulfree17.

 

Softproofing will attempt to show how your print will appear on the selected paper. If softproofing displays out of gamut regions it means that the paper cannot properly display those colors.

 

As you see when printing, those colors aren't printed.

 

What you are doing "wrong" is not adjusting the print to eliminate the out of gamut colors. Have you tried changing the rendering intent?
