Magenta cast on my Pixma pro 9000

This is more than reish bias. This is an outright heavy cast. lf I could scan the prin, you could see the poblem.Thanks for your reply.

ebiggs1, I've been following this discussion for a while and wish to say thanks to you for your valuable input. I contacted Canon a while back about this problem as well and I will say they did reach out to me but I pretty much gave up on finding a resolution. I was working on a photo wall project in black and white and when the photos came out of the printer they were definitely a bit more magenta that what I was seeing on my monitor (yes, calibrated). I was printing on Ilford Gold Mono Silk and used Photoshop rather than LR to print. Holding these prints next to black and white photos printed on my old IP4300 the color cast seems pretty noticeable. Even not using other work as a comparison the pink cast is there to my eye but others don't seem to be as aware of it and like the way the photos look. We decided the the prints really looked good on the whole so we went ahead with using them, framed and hung them. I've received many compliments on the photo wall and I think it really works as a group since all are printed using the same settings, paper and printer. I haven't done much printing since and not in color but I am going to try your thoughts about cooling slightly even though I rather not find that necessary. So, as I understand it you are doing this by using an all over color filter? Or are you just adjusting the magenta down slightly using an adjustment layer? Thanks~

Printing Issuse From Lightroom 4 To Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II

I have been trying to print from Lightroom 4 to a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II. Whenever I try to print via the front try (for canvas) I get an error message (code 1281) and I cannot print. I have tried a few different papers as well as canvas and all of them give the same error code.
I have also tried printing from Elements 9 with the same problem.
I can print via the front try using Canon's own software, Easy Print Pro, but I cannot soft proof the image first and I cannot the the correct size of image either.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get round this problem?
I have spoken to Canon and they have passed the buck saying that as I can print using thier software it is an Adobe issue.
Printer: Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MKII
Software: Adobe Lightroom 4
Operating System: Lion OSX

The final answer was as per Rikk Flohr's instructions,
Lightroom>Print Module
Print Settings button Bottom Left-hand Panel
Set the Center Pull-down to Quality and Media
Paper Source: Front Tray
I was having difficulty finding these previously, thanks Rikk.

Compatibility with Canon Easy PhotoPrint Pro - Pixma Pro 9000

Hi,
I have just downloaded and installed the trial version of Photoshop CS5, only to discover that in the Automate (Under Files) option, Canon's Easy PhotoPrint Pro is no longer listed.
I would be interested to know whether this is a Canon, or an Adobe problem
I found that with Photoshop CS3, this method of printing, provided most accurate colours
I would be interested in other subscribers, who print with the Canon Pixma Pro 9000, how they get best results from their printer - What options do you select in the print dialogue box, etc.
Brian

This sounds like a question about general Photoshop CS5 use. This forum is specifically for people using the Photoshop CS5 FXG feature with Flash Catalyst.
I recommend you post this question to one of the more general Photoshop forums:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
Your question will get much wider exposure there, and you are more likely to get an answer from the Photoshop community.

Managing Color with LR and the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver

I would like help understanding how to manage color in LIghtroom with the Canon Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver. When I ask LR to manage color in the Printing Module Color Management Profile, it warns me to turn off the printer managing color. But I cannot find where to do this in the driver.
The Color Options menu in the driver gives an additional choice for "Color Mode", but there are no choices here except "Standard", "Linear" or "Tone". The only Canon documentation I can find shows a choice to turn off printer management here, but this driver doesn't give me that choice.
If I look in the driver's "Color Matching", I see only two choices: ColorSync or Vendor Matching. ColorSync brings up Canon profiles like "Pro9000 Fine Art Photo Rag", but selecting one of these gives a warning of unexpected results. This pushes me back to Vendor Matching. But is this turning off the printer driver and leaving it to Lightroom?
Right now, I am getting the best results from choosing "Managed by Printer" in LR's Color Management Profile, and setting "Color Matching" in the Canon driver to "Vendor Matching". If I instead choose one of the Canon profiles in LR's Color Management Profile (and it tells me to turn off the printer managing, which I cannot do), then my prints have a slightly bluer color cast.
Is there a way to turn off the printer managing color in this driver and turn this over to LR, or am I getting the best results possible with the printer managing color anyway?
I am using a 2.4 GHz Intel iMac with OS 10.5.4, 2 gigs SDRAM, standard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video card. I downloaded the Canon printer driver from their website, so I assume this is the latest. there is another driver available at their website, but for a lower bit depth. Should I abandon the 10.1.2.0 for this other one? I work with Nikon D300 NEFs, and I assumed the higher bit depth printer driver will work better with these images.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Dear DYP: Unfortunately, those choices are not available in the 10.1.2.0 Canon Printer driver. There are only 2 radio buttons, ColorSync and Vendor Matching. ColorSync then provides a drop-down menu, with no choice for turning off the printer driver.
But I think I found the answer. I found a deeply buried FAQ on the Canon site (no direct URL; sorry!) Here it says:
"Issue: How do I disable the printer driver color correction when using the CUPS driver in Mac OS X 10.5.x?
Solution: Change color management options for printing (Mac OS X 10.5.x)
Change color management options for printing
Open the document you wish to print.
Click 'File' and then click 'Print.'
Note: If the Print window contains only two pop-up menus, click the triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu for expanded options.
Select 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu.
Select 'ColorSync' if you want the application you are using, and not the printer driver, to control the color management of the printed output.
Note: If you are using Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3 and have selected 'Let Photoshop Determine Colors', the 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu is automatically set to 'ColorSync.'
Select 'Vendor Matching' if you want the printer driver to control the color management of the printed output."
I tried it, and chose "Automatic" as a choice in ColorSync. The choices under "Color Options" are then greyed out, implying that the Canon driver is now turned off.
The prints came out great, with no color cast, and a little brighter than the printer managed prints.
So, Vendor Managed means printer manages, ColorSync means LR manages.
Thanks, everyone, for keeping me going on tracking this down!

Pixma Pro 9000 printer: correct settings to use Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte?

Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte formerly known as Enhanced Matte paper; Epson instructions advise setting for "Enhanced matte paper, "Matte paper Heavyweight" or :Archival Matte paper". What setting should I use for my Pro 9000?
Thanks!

Welcome Texcollins!
Not a great answer, I know, but I think you might have to try some trial-and-error with the different matte options. Its hard to say for all the different paper out there which one will be the best.
I don't have the options for the Pixma Pro9000 in front of me right now, but a few weeks ago I had to try some matte 3M photo paper and there wasn't an exact setting for it, so I tried the ones that sounded the closest and and to judge by eye (and touch) which one was most accurate and dried correctly. Your Epson paper could be similar or completely different; its a toss-up.

Red Color Cast when printing with Canon Pixma Pro 9000

My printer is giving me a horrible red color cast after the latest software update. The color cast can also be seen in Preview and in the print window. No changes to drivers have been made. Printer worked fine before the update.
Has anyone else found this problem and offered a solution?

You may find it helpful.
Thanks, but if you look in the archives of the Apple ColorSync Users List, you'll find thousands of posts from his Mac dating back to the beginning of the List.
The principle is that you configure your device colour spaces to the largest gamut of which they are capable, calibrate them to a stable condition, characterise that condition in a measured test chart, and build ICC device profiles for those characterisations in your ICC profiling package of choice.
You then capture and correct colour with correct colour previews, resulting in normalised exposures in an ideal CIE colour space. With you normalised exposures, you convert into output condition 1, output condition 2, output condition n which is what repurposing is about.
But you do no apply a gamma change on top of the colour managed rendering. That is incorrect by definition. You apply your gamma change as part of the colour correction in order to get your normalised exposure.
If you imagine this in a prepress process, then you can forget the concept of determinate rendering which is the bedrock of the ICC architecture. If you as photographer do a gamma correction on top of your presentation print or proof print, then you can claim that you have a presentation print, but you cannot contractually claim that you have a proof print as your proof print is a colour correction on top of the colour management system. If Apple Aperture allows the user access to colour correction on top of colour management, then that is a bug in the application. Sorry ...

Canon Pixma Pro 9000 printer will not print for Lightroom 2.3 or Photoshop CS4

When I hit the print button on either Lightroom or Photoshop CS4 to print using the "front tray", the printer sends a message to lower the tray for the back tray. The Canon tech rep stated that when I hit the Print button on Lightroom or Photoshop there should be "drop down window" which allows me to choose the "front tray". Until I do this, the printer assumes that I am still using the back tray. My question - why doesn't my Lightroom or Photoshop programs display this "drop down window" when I press the "print" button?? Please!! Can anyone help me??

After so many attempts, I don't remember what the display was when I first requested for help. I just trying everything that I
could think of.
I don't think that I downloaded the right Driver the first time. As a last resort, I downloaded the Driver again from Canon and to my surprise, another menu appeared. It was different from the previous ones and rather confusing. The Canon tech had described what I should bd looking for and so I proceeded ahead one drop menu after another and finally the right menu appeared giving me the choice between the automatic back tray and the front tray. After I clicked on the front tray, everything worked fine.
Thanks, Was DYP, for taking time to attempt to help me. It's my opinion that Canon's documentation was not complete and therefore created some confusion.

My Pixma Pro 9000 won't print on an A1 envelope 3 3/8 x 5 1/8

Has anyone had trouble printing on a smaller size sheet. Mine will not print on an A1 envelope 3 3/8 x 5 1/8. I plan on calling customer service to see if I can get anywhere, but figured I would try here too. I am running Mac OS X Version 10.8.5 and using Illustrator 6.
Thanks a million,

Is this kernel panic occurring after your boot into Safe Mode?
I'm not sure what you mean by "mountain lion attempt" - did you, in fact, upgrade to Mountain Lion and let the installation complete?

Anyone using a canon pixma pro 9000 MKII with their imac?

I'm curious as to your opinion/satisfaction with this combo.

Adam,
Sorry for the delay. Been trying to get a copy of 6.x to check but it seems to have been borrowed and not returned. So I'm not sure about the ppd being in the correct place. With v7.x, the PPD Manager looks in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj as a default and also has the auxillary option so that you can browse to a different folder.
However, talking to some of my colleagues it seems that the ppd contains no colour management information as the printer is not a postscript device. It is purely for paper support and the print dialog extensions. So the addition of the ppd into Quark doesn't improve the print quality, it simply makes some installations of Quark happier with the ppd field filled.
Note that with v7.1, even after copying the ppd into the correct folder, after selecting the Pro9000 as the printer, you cannot change the PPD menu - it is disabled.

Resolved Color Correction issue with MAC OS X and Canon pro 9000

Problem: Unable to set the Color Correction option to NONE. I have looked all over the net and it seems that there are lots of people with this problem. After months and months of battling with this issue I have finally come up with the answer. Its all down to the fact that MAC OS X comes with a pre installed driver for the Canon Pixma Pro 9000. To cut a long story short this driver needs to be deleted from your system files before you update your driver, which you need to download from the canon website. I downloaded version 4.8.6. The new driver does not seem to work with the default driver still on the comp. After following directions below you should finally be able to get your Color Correction option on your driver working.
First things first... go to the following location and delete the canon pro 9000 driver.
Location: /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources
File Name: CanonIJPro900series.ppd.gz
(make a backup of this file if you wish )
Once you have deleted the driver you need to restart your mac.
After rebooting install the new Canon Pro 9000 driver. I suggest installing version 4.8.6(this one worked for me)
Reboot Mac again just for good measure then do a test print and you should now be able to set COLOR CORRECTION to NONE.
I know there are a lot of people out there having the same problem so if you are reading this please pass the solution on to others.

Hi Japamac,
Indeed a new cable just bought solved this problem.
Still wandering why my MacbookPro was able to print and my PowerMac not, maybe another driver issue?
Thank's anyway for your reply.

Snow leopard and Canon pixma pro drivers, which one is it recognizing?

I have a new MacBook Pro. I print with Canon Pixma Pro 9000 and 9500.
My question is regarding the print drivers.
I plug both Pixma pros in and the computer recognizes them.
However, I also downloaded the latest print drivers for the two print drivers off the Canon website.
Which printer driver is the computer using? The one that somehow comes with the computer or the one I downloaded from Canon.
Or does it matter? My concern is that I want the paper profiles to be correct.

Can anyone positivly confirm that they have got this printer to work with 10.5.6? I have downlaosed latest drivers from Canon and Apple (on the apple list is says Canon Pro9000 Series II but omits the word PIXMA - and when I get this into the PRINT USING box on add printer and hit 'Add' nothing happens.
We have the Pro 9500 II that we use for proofing and I've got it on a 10.6.5 Mac and it's using the v10.36.2.0 driver that it downloaded from Apple when I connected it.
If your Mac does not see or let you add the printer after manually browsing to it then something is amiss with your Mac. I suggest you try a reset of the printing system using the following procedure.
1. Unplug the Pro9000 USB cable from the Mac
2. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
3. Move your mouse over the Printers list
4. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
5. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
6. Restart your Mac
7. Reconnect the Pro9000 USB cable to the Mac
The Mac should automatically add the printer to the Print & Fax pane, assuming the printer is being seen by the Mac - and you are definitely connecting the USB cable of the Pro9000 directly to the Mac.
If the Mac does not add the printer automatically then open System Profiler (Applications > Utilities) and select the USB entry under Hardware in the left pane. The right pane will then show all the USB busses on the Mac. The printer should be shown connected to one of these busses. If it is not shown then try another USB cable and another USB socket on the Mac.

IMAC + PS CS + CANON PRO 9000 = redish print

I run into situations like that before with different versions of PS on windows machines. What happened to me twice is that the printer performed color corrections and it was not always easy to disable that. I looked around everywhere in the printer menue and didn't see anything.
-My monitor is calibrated
-My B&W prints are perfect (so I assume it has to do with some color correction)
-latest driver for the PRO 9000 installed
-I use the correct profile
-Original canon paper plus ink
Help is greatly appreciated!

Have been able to contact Canon? Their usually fairly prompt in replying via support email. Let us know how you make out. I am considering purchasing a pixma pro 9000 and I am running Mountain Lion as well.
Thanks,
Larry

Photoshop Elenents 13 does not recognize my Canon Pixma Pro Mark II 9000 printer.

Photoshop Elements 13 does not recognize my Canon Pixma Pro Mark II 9000 printer. I get the following error message “The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing” and I cannot print.

I have been checking my computer files and find that PSE 13 is only the 32 bit system and my computer is a 64 bit system. In PSE 12 I was able to take the Adobe
Twain Driver (Twain 32 bit} in to the Optional Plug-in folder and then my Canon Scanner would work with PSE 12. My printer Canon Pixma Mark II 9000 worked with PSE 12. Now that I have upgraded to PSE 13 neither the scanner or my printer will work. There I no “Optional Plug-in Folder” in PSE 13. Is there some way that I can drag files into PSE 13 that will enable both my scanner and printer to work? My scanner is a Canon Canoscan 8800.
Or must I go back to using PSE 12.

Magenta cast ( strong) on Canon 9000 MKII

After changing to a different paper all my pictures come out with a strong magenta cast . Really strong, as if no other color exist. Having profiled the printer again with ColorMunki the result is the same. Have gone through all the forums reporting a similar problem, I haven't found any workable solution. It is really strange that even Canon has no real answer, although the problem seems to exist for years...AND only with Canon. Have also an Epson R1800 and never encountered a problem.
Does anyone have a workable solution without having to buy "other" programs to solve the problem. Printing from PS 6 on Windows 7. Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks !
P.S. All previous suggestions have been tried, but no luck. Have always been using own printer profiles generated by CM.

First, you must not let the printer set anything. Turn off every bit off control it has. You can do this with the Canon My Printer under the Printer Settings tab. Do you know how? I will guess, yes, for now but if you don't get back to me.
Second, you need to have your photo editor handle all the settings and color matching. You know how to do this? I prefer Photoshop.
And lastly, it is essential you get some settings on your monitor that somewhat matches what the printer is printing. Your printer may be doing exactly what you are telling it to do and you have no idea it is, because your monitor is off. If you don't do this step, you can forget the other steps. However, there are only a few things that you need to be concerned with. You don't need any fancy extra add-ons to do this. No additional sortware or gadgets, etc.
But you must get the grey-scale very close. You need to get the brightness very close and you need the contrast very close.
After you do these things you can make adjustments to your prints by just looking at your screen. Because you know the monitor and printer are on the same level. One more point, you can NOT get a printer to print every color exactly the way you saw it. It isn't possibile as all colors and adjustments effect all others. My goal is to get the skin tones right. That is what people notice most. Remeber you are dealing with two different disciplines here. One is colored light and the other is colored dyes. They are not the same thing.
For instance, I know my Pro-100 tends to print darker than what I see on the monitor (typical). So, I automatically know to set it's prints 1/2 to one stop brighter in Photoshop, in my case. It also prints with a slightly warn tone. Most of the time, with protraits especially, this if OK but sometimes it is not. In that case I adjust the "temp" setting slightly cooler in PS.
All the Canon photo printers I have ever seen have this warm/magenta cast. Canon engineers must prefer this look. It can not be changed. You need to "fix" it in post.
Make sure you have the correct ICC profiles and you are using Canon brand ink and paper untill you get good with the printer. Very, very important, otherwise you don't know if the printer is doing exactly what you are telling it to or not.
Important though is, use the USB connection until everything is right. You are just adding another issue when you try to set up the printing and the wireless all at the same time. Just like using Canon branded products until it is a go. Use a real printer USB cable. Not just any old USB cable.
