PIXMA PRO-100 Printed colors don't match what's on monitor

kolival

This printer was gifted to me.  I use Windows 11 PC and Lightroom Classic.  When printing from Lightroom the colors of the print are not even close to what I see on my monitor.  I have calibrated my monitor.  If there is someone out there that can send me a list of things to do I would appreciate the help.  I have been down many rabbit holes and can't seem to get the colors of the print to be close to what I see on my monitor.

Thanks

In that case, I don't have any other suggestions other than to double-check your monitor calibration.

Good luck.

Hi,

Based on this type of issue, I recommend reaching out to Canon support. You will need to register your Canon gear HERE to access additional support options.

We look forward to hearing from you

I've had sort-of the same problem when I tried to print on a paper that was non-Canon and I tried to choose a "similar" ICC profile in the Canon Professional Print & Layout application.  Do you have the ICC profile for the paper you're printing on?

 

Yes I am using Canon Photo paper Pro Premium Matte and I do have the ICC profile.

In that case, I don't have any other suggestions other than to double-check your monitor calibration.

Good luck.

Can you print a nozzle check and post a phone shot off what it looks like?

Can you confirm that you are printing on the correct side of the paper? The matte paper is tough; wet a finger tip and touch a corner. The tacky side is the print side?

Is it only with that paper? What about plain paper?

Here is the nozzle check. As for printing on the correct side of the matte paper I tried the finger test but both sides seem tacky.  One side is smooth and white the other is a light rougher and not as white.  I have been printing on the white side since I think that was the recommendation form Canon.  

Thanks for all your suggestions

I print on smooth white side.
