Thank you! You saved my day with this video. You are the definite YouTube encyclopedia on printing.

The first time ever I matched my screen and Pixma's Pro 1 output with Canson BP paper after watching your video. Thanks a million for this.

Thanks Jose, I finally have perfect prints on my pro 100 after following this advice. I did not know this feature existed within the driver. I have learned something today!

[alansparks-zgtz]

This went straight over my head. Can someone explain this for a beginner please

[dunnymonster]

Never knew about this Jose so I learnt something new today 👍 I guess it kind of makes sense however because when we create custom profiles we are essentially giving new colour coordinates to the standard print driver for a given OEM paper type ( thus why you still have to select a recommended paper type when making profiles with non OEM papers ).

Great video, thanks! One question: Why is it necessary to choose ICM instead of Photoshop to manage the color? Also, why ICM instead of "Driver Manages Color"?

[chrisbell-pctechnician]

FREAKING FANTASTIC. Thanks. See you Sunday on the Livestream.

Thank you Jose for that great information, I never knew that could be done.

So basically, I can print with my Canon pro 4100 on HP heavy coated matte paper which I really found a good deal, I also bought on eBay used datacolor spyder hardware printer profiler tool which I’m going to make a custom profile. I hope it works and thanks for the advice.

Your link above for custom paper profile creation page is invalid. What is the easiest way to install the ICC profiles in the driver module after one downloads them? In Windows of course.

[dandee]

when you do this, does it have the canon printer use the vibrant settings made for lets say a epson icc profile? I have epson photo paper, so select epson icc gloss photo, and the canon should have all the colors as vivid as it was printing from an epson 8500?

Thanks Joe, I'm a printing newbie and have been enjoying working my way through your videos.

Is there a simple answer why this technique only works with Canon and not Epson as well?

[TheRobsterUK]

Thanks Jose this looks really useful. Quick question - I create custom vinyl stickers and the software I have to use with my vinyl cutter isn't from any major software house so really doesn't have anything in the way of colour management (there's no option to use ICC profiles etc, I think it just prints via the driver). So if I use this method with simpler software with no colour management of it's own, would it work and print via the ICC profile selected in the driver? Also is it necessary to disable the software's colour management? So via the driver go to Page Setup > Print Options and then tick "Disable the color profile setting of the application software". I would have thought it would be on the safe side to tick this to make sure the software isn't controlling colour at all? Thanks :)

Hello, thanks for the video. Do you know where i can find Canon papers ICC profiles? Regards, Philippe

[johncollier]

Hi very interesting information. But what colour matching settings do you use when printing charts for paper profiling? Surely it should be ‘none’

[davidsussman]

Why not use Photoshop to control the third party profile? My results seem to match better

[dylanreynolds]

I have just tried doing exactly this, but the printer profile option doesn't appear for a Canon 8750

[sl]

On the Pixma iP8720 this can't be done. When setting the Manual Color Adjustment under the "Matching" tab there is no ICC Profiles menu, no drop down to select other ICC Profiles. After selecting ICM, below that there are only TWO selections/drop down menus: Input Profile and Rendering Intent. There is no ICC Profiles menu. Does that mean this feature is only available in the Pixma Pro printers and up? I believe that is the case.

I've got a sidebar question that hopefully you can help with, Joe!
I finally got around to upgrading my Win 7 machine to Win 10. The upgrade went off without a hitch, and much to my delight I noticed that the Canon Pro-100 drivers were installed automatically (it was connected to my machine during the Win 10 install). Anyway, my question is:
Where is the "Maintenance" tab?
I've opened every properties window that I could possibly find, that's associated with the Pro-100. Including what looks to be an incredibly dumbed-down printing "app". Although all of the tabs look familiar from Win 7, I can't find the "Maintenance" tab.
Has Windows 10 done away with that? If so, then how do I print a nozzle check page, or command a cleaning, etc?

Thanks! I didn't know where else to ask the question and be sure of getting a response! :)

My printer driver menu doesn't look anything like that on my iMac. Wish it did.
