Naming of Canon Paper Printer Profiles?

Hi -
I have a pro 9000 mark2. I assume the paper profiles were installed by the driver - is this correct? There are many of them, and I think I have an idea of what some are, but what does the "N" mean on the end of them? Any definitive help explaining all the paper profiles - a link etc - would be great, and much appreciated!
For example (not actual print screen)
Glossy Photo Paper N

If you read, I know a novel idea, the specs of the Canon paper you bought, it will tell you which profile to use.
For instance, Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II, recommends you use Photo Paper Glossy II N.
I don't know the reasoning behind Canon's naming system. Maybe the 'N' indicates 'new'?
The driver installation does indeed add the profiles and you should check if you have the most recent one.

Canon IP3000 printer profile problem in Lion

I have a Macbook Pro with Lion installed on it. I was given a good working Canon IP3000 printer, and decided to hook it up to my laptop. I found the Canon website driver for it and installed it. Once I open my Photoshop CS5, and go to print, I see the IP3000 in the window, but it crashes Photoshop every time. I found out it is not compatible with Lion. I tried as much as I can to delete the profile from my system, Colorsync folder, etc. I searched for Canon and IP3000, and nothing is left.
Question,
1.why is it still showing up when I open Photoshop? It's still crashing Photoshop.
2. Is there a third party printer profile that will work with my IP3000 and Lion?

The driver files would have been added to /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters. If you haven't done so already, you may want to remove the contents of this folder.
When the printer was created, files from the above folder would have been copied to hidden directories, such as ./etc/cups. Removing the printer from Print and Scan should have removed these files but there may be a remnant or two that is causing the crash. A reset of the printing system should help clean this up.

Note that this action will remove all devices from Print and Scan, but not the driver files in /Library/Printers, so you will just need to add the printer again.
As for a supporting driver, since you want to print from Photoshop then I would recommend you purchase PrintFab
http://www.printfab.net/
This will give the best results, providing you are using Photo paper.
One last thing. The iP3000 is old and is not going to give great results compared to newer models of printers.

Where can I download ICC profile for Canon paper?

Hi,
I bought a new MacBookPro and suddenly the ICC profiles that used to be in my Canon Pixma Pro 10 are missing. I'm specifically looking for: Canon luster, platinum, museum etching. Can anyone point me to the right direction please? Thanks.

I am having a similar problem. I had previously printed on my new Canon Pixma Pro 10 to Canon Photo Paper Pro Luster from my MacBook Pro retina running 10.10.3. I upgraded to Lightroom 6. Now I do not have the ICC profile for the luster paper available under Color Management in LR6. I downloaded and reinstalled the print driver but that didn't give me the profile. All of the ICC profile downloads that I can find are for other vendors' papers. The link in ssprengel's post takes me to the driver download page but it doesn't give me the Canon paper ICC profiles. Help.

No Canon printer profiles in CS5

Canon Printer Profiles do not appear after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
I upgraded the Canon drivers, still no success.
Canon techs suggested that I had to upgrade my CS5 to run with Mountain Lion.
I've tried to find just where one would find the upgrade, again no success.
I can also not chat with Adobe, probably because I don't have CS6.
Can anyone guide me to where I might find where to upgrade CS5?
Thank you

greg sahli, I'll bring you up to date.
"What puzzles me is why OS 10.8 only affected the Canon profiles, and didn't interfer with all the others." prompted me to call Canon again. We reinsalled the drivers, again without success.
The Tech lady, unsure of the solution, suggested I print with the printer managing color
When I told her I was able select the Canon paper I use, she said that would be the profile.
There aren't any Canon profiles in the Library>Printer>Canon folder.
Apparently, with Mountain Lion, the old Canon profiles are not loaded.
At any rate, I printed a photo using the printer to manage color and got some great results.
That's the answer to 2 days work.
I wish to thank you for your efforts and guidance in helping solve my problem.
Have a nice summer.

CANON PRO-1 PRINTER PROFILE ACCESS PROBLEM

I own a Canon pro-1 printer and I am trying to access my third party profiles from within the printer setup/printer profile window, but I am restricted to selecting from only the Canon's Pro-1 titled profiles for example, Canon pro-1 <FA> 2/3 fine art paper photo rag . All of my profiles are located in the same location, Windows/system 32/spool/driver/color. Where do I go to change my printer's settings so that I may access all of my printer icc profiles? I noticed that the Canon profiles have an .icm format, while my other profiles read .icc.
Thank you for your help.
Mark

All of your printer profiles must be in the folder that you specified. I just bought a Pro-1 printer and my printer profiles total seventeen for the Pro-1. Your Hahnemuhle or other paper mfr profiles must be in this same folder for windows to find them. If you think you are missing some, I would re-install the printer driver, which is where the software loads the icc profiles to begin with. You have to download other paper mfr profiles from their own sites for the Pro-1 model.

Canon paper profiles missing, Mac

When printing from PS CS5, I no longer see the choices for Canon papers in the print dialog on my Mac Pro. I recently upgraded my computers to Mountain Lion. My laptop still shows the Canon mp620 profiles so I can print from there. If I knew where to find these profiles I could reinstall them on the MP. Thanks.

These Canon paper profiles used to show up in the print and proof menus but now they are gone. I wish to get them back.

Canon ip6600D multiple printer profiles

Hi Everyone
Just starting to use Lightroom to print again, after having had a bad experience at the start (just as likely to have been user error as 1.0 problems).
I have a Canon ip6600D, and Lightroom offers me 6 profiles for it, called:
MP2
PR1
PR2
PR3
SP2
SP3
What do these letters stand for? What are the difference between the profiles?
So far I have tried the first three, and have got some good results, but am slightly worried that I don't understand what exactly the status is of these profiles.
Supplementary question: with a correctly calibrated monitor, should it be possible to get monitor-to-print accuracy using only one printer profile all the time? And if so why are there six different ones?...
Thanks in advance

Since Canon by design tends to produce very vibrant, saturated reds and blues that can present a printing challenge beyond using the right printer/paper profile at times. If you are using Canon RAW files, you might want to reduce those colors with the sliders in the HSL section of LR.
The amount needed depends on your taste, so you will need to experiment a bit by printing some strips (little paper waste that way)to find out how much, if any, you need to take one or both of those color ranges down a bit in particular images, or, if you find that those colors need modification for all images you can use the Camera Calibration section of LR.
Sometimes, when I have just a region of the image that needs having the red or blue reduced, I send the image to Lightzone or Photoshop (often with the NIK Viveza plugin) for external editing, since LR's control at this time is global, not selective.

How to turn off color management in Canon MX860 for printer profile

I just got my Spyder3Print updated with the SR software to calibrate my Canon MX860 on a Mac OS X system. I am using 3rd party paper (Kirkland) and 3rd party ink (uni-kit). There are no existing .icc profiles out there for this combo. I have been using canons "GL2/GL3" profile which does not give me, as expected, a good color match.
When the program asks to print the target it says to make sure the "color management is off".
I cannot find an "off" selection. In the "color mode" portion of the dialog box I do get to choose between "colorsync" and "canon color matching"???
I was guessing colorsync and then I have to pick a printer/paper/ink .icc profile. Not sure what to use for this first target print.
Not sure if that choice represents color managment off?

Just got the answer from Spyder:
his applies to ALL Canon printers drivers running under both Leopard and Snow Leopard and it's the correct "solution" to get them to print without color management (a critical, unavoidable requirement for building custom printer profiles with any 3rd party printer profiling solution).
Make sure you're running OSX 10.6.2 or whatever the latest is. There have also been some Canon driver updates that will show up in System Preferences:Software Update, so make sure you've got nothing left to apply as an update. Another way to make sure you have the latest Canon driver installed: go to Print & Fax, select your current Canon driver, and click on Options and Supplies... to see what version it is. (It should be 10.26.0.0 or later, and here's the Apple list of latest drivers for all printers):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
If you don't have the most recent driver, then click "-" to remove the older Canon driver from the list. Then, with the printer attached and powered on, click "+", and add back the driver for it (this should download and install the latest version for you).
Now: when you PRINT and want to turn off color management in Spyder3Print, THIS is the way to do it:
In the Color Matching pane of the driver, select ColorSync (not Vendor Matching, or Canon Color Matching!)
In the popup beneath that, you'll see "Automatic"; a list of all the Canon standard profiles; and a command to choose from other profiles. Use that last command to see a list of all profiles on your system.
Select "Generic RGB" from the list. (this is the key). Then say OK and you'll see that "Generic RGB" shows beneath the ColorSync radio button in the Color Matching pane. This is the secret to disabling color management with the Canon drivers in Snow Leopard (and it also works in Leopard, as well, although in that case, a warning gets displayed underneath "Generic RGB", which can be ignored)
Select the paper type, output quality, resolution, etc. as usual and print the target sheet. (Just leave the Color Options pane alone)
NOW you should get a properly dark (non-color-managed) target print. Measure this and build a profile.
Printing with "No Color Management" from Photoshop actually works the same way. It invisibly pushes through "Generic RGB" or an equivalent when you choose "No Color Management" in its Print dialog, This is why, in the Color Matching pane of the driver, ColorSync subsequently comes up auto-selected and also disabled; Photoshop has done the same thing I just described "under the hood" and as a result, that choice in the driver gets "locked".
When printing through the profile in Photoshop: do it the usual way. (Photoshop Manages Colors, choose the profile, Saturation intent, etc etc etc). It should work fine.
When doing a test print from inside Spyder3Print: since Spyder3Print applies the profile internally to the image data before it's sent to the driver, you should set the driver up exactly the same as when you printed the target image (as I've described above), so this would be ColorSync:Generic RGB in the Color Matching pane.

Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer using Lightroom?

Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer for use in LightRoom5?

Epsnm should provide recommended settings (I.e. Which Canon paper type to select). They may also have profiles on their site.

My Canon MX922 printer has stopped printing because it says the paper tray is empty. Tray is full.

My Canon MX922 printer has all of a sudden stopped printing and I'm getting the error message that the paper tray is empty. The tray is full. I've removed and replaced several times. I've loaded the top feeder as well in case for some reason it was trying to pull from there. I've shut down and restarted several times as well, to no avail. I work from home and this is my own business so it's vital I have a working printer. Any suggestions as to what the problem is or is the printer shot? I've probably had it just over a year.

Hi nicolej31,
You will want to ensure that there aren't any obstructions in the paper feed path that may be causing the paper not to feed and be recognized by the printer. With a flashlight or other bright light, please check the paper feed areas of the printer to ensure no obstructions exist. Once this has been done, please perform a roller cleaning on the unit by following the steps located here.
You will also want to ensure that the paper type and size selected in the printer driver is applicable to the cassette tray that you are trying to print from. For information on which paper sizes and types to load in each cassette tray, please click here.
Hope this helps!

Error 88 or Support Code 88 in Canon Driver printing on art paper from Lightroom

Re: Error 88 (Support Code 88) of Canon Printer Driver, using Pixma Pro9500 - April 20, 2014
I'm replying to myself from two years ago, and to the rest of you, regarding Error 88. (My question of April 2012 is in the Photoshop department of Adobe Community. For those who don't know but are reading this anyway for some reason, Error 88 is a message from the Canon Printer Driver that tells you you haven't set the paper size correctly for printing on fine-art paper. But it may appear anyway, even if your settings are correct.)
At the time I found no resolution to the problem, just a workaround: to print from Lightroom itself. Too bad this was after months of hassle and expense, including a probably fraudulent (and certainly useless) repair (supposedly replacing the Pixma's logic board and paper sensor), and the ministrations of a techie who could only conclude there was something wrong with my copy of Photoshop which provoked the Error 88. But he made me realise I could print from Lightroom, and that's what I've been doing ever since. (The possibility had never occurred to me, as my routine of printing from Photoshop was working fine.) This has been a good move after all, since Lightroom offers many advantages over PS where printing is concerned: tonal controls and more in Develop, and the possibility of creating a Saved Print.
But to print from Lightroom, I had to crop my printing files to the image. (In PS I had always created a document the same size as the paper I planned to use – A4 or A3+ – and positioned the image where I wanted, with margins all around. But in Lightroom I set margins and position in Print Mode, starting with a borderless file.) This was a bit of work, but unavoidable, and a good thing on the whole. So for a couple of years I printed in this way.
But meanwhile, my 2009 iMac was developing other problems, and finally I had to replace it. (After only two or three years of use, it was shutting down spontaneously, a problem no one was able to resolve, about which every techie has a different opinion, and about which Apple is completely mute and unresponsive; thank you Apple Computer for your supposedly ultra-reliable products – I can only say it’s a good thing you don’t make pacemakers).
So for about ten weeks now I have a nice shiny new 2013 iMac, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Also I have the new OS Mavericks, new versions of Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5, the new Canon Driver. I have my complaints about the OS (particularly a few interface/viewing design choices that strike me as colossally stupid and unnecessary), but that's beside the point here.
Having not yet printed with the new setup (nor for a few months before), and knowing that it's good to use your Pixma now and then, I thought I'd dedicate a few hours to printing. I figured it could work out easy, since I planned to print from Saved Prints. But as soon as I hooked it all up, checked my settings, and clicked Print, I see the printer icon bouncing in the Dock with its little yellow trouble flag. I check that out and am very dismayed to see my old nemesis, Error 88, which tells me I haven't set the paper size correctly. But it's correct, of course. (As before, I'm printing on fine art paper, A3+.) Beg your pardon, Canon now calls it "Support Code 88", thinking of all the Support you'll get from them.
I tried a few of the obvious things: start/restart computer, printer, Lightroom, etc., but to no avail. Also, supposing that my Saved Prints were perhaps no longer valid in the new LR, I tried to print directly from the file, bypassing the Saved Print, but no go.
I should also note that, in Page Setup, the Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) was new to me – seems to me you could set “A3+ Art Margins”. A3+ as I know it from the fine-art papers I use is 329x483mm anyway (also as given in Page Setup), if that makes any difference.
If it's any use, here are some particulars on the current situation:
iMac 27”, late 2013, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB, Mac OSX 10.9.2
Lightroom 5.3 (Camera RAW 8.3)
Photoshop CS6 (version 13.0 x64)
Canon PrinterDriver_Pro9500 series_108420 (10.84.2.0)
And my settings: LR Page Setup: set “Art A3+ (Margin 35)”System Prefs/Printers & Scanners – set Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) (found via “Format For:” in Page Setup)LR Print Settings:
Printer: Canon Pro9500 series (exclamation point – not recognized?)
Presets: Last Used Settings
Color Matching: Canon
Paper Handling: All Pages – Automatic – NO “Scale to fit paper size” (but “Destination Paper Size, though grayed out, reads “Suggested Paper: Art A3+ (Margin 35”)
Quality & Media: Media Type: Fine Art “Photo Rag” (or “FA Museum Etching” or “FA Matte”); Paper Source: Front Tray; Print Quality: High; YES Grayscale Printing
Color Options:
Color Mode: Standard; C-M-Y and Tone all left at zero
Brightness: Normal; Intensity and Contrast both left at zero
It all looks kosher to me. Does anybody know anything about this problem? I'll be very grateful.

Cant select the paper ICC profile in the applications page saet-up or print

Cant select the paper ICC profile in the applications page set-up or printer box.
I loaded a new paper profile into what I thought was the proper places(s) and it showed up in some applications but not in another. Does this mean the application is at fault? Can anyone tell me where the profiles are supposed to be installed?

Printer profile for Canon inkjet

I am having a bit of trouble getting my printer to render colours satisfactorily.
My printer is a Canon Pixma iP 3600 but I am not sure which settings give optimum results from Illustrator RGB files.
1) Should I specify a colour profile for Illustrator or is Emulate Adobe Illustrator o.k.?
2) Is there anything else I should do if I use Indesign for output?
3) When I go to print, Color Management in the Print dialogue gives me various Printer Profile options, including:
Does anyone know which of these Canon iP3600 series profiles works (or is supposed to work) best? (I have had dismal results using Adobe RGB and can find nothing about profiles in the printer handbook. For example, I don’t know the difference between MP2, PR1, PR2 etc.)
As for Rendering Intent, it is important in this case that colours reproduce as accurately as the printer will allow. My instinct tells me to use Absolute Colorimetric because I have adjusted the colours in my files very carefully.

Steve,
Have you tried a custom RGB test sheet (maybe with notes on settings written into it for each combination) and a waste of raw materials?

Printer Profile- Custom Paper not installing

I've been having an issue from prior to switching to the iPrint appliance where when I make a Printer Profile and add a custom paper size, that the custom paper does not get installed with the printer. I'm using the HP Universal Print Driver PCL6, v5.7, and in the process that I find that I am required to edit a driver's profile twice in order to add the custom paper type, in my case a clone of Letter called Letterhead.
The first time that I edit the printer driver profile I configure as much of the first driver screen as I can since I can't give the correct Letterhead tray assignment because it hasn't been created in the 2nd Printer Properties screen yet. Then I get to the screen and create the Letterhead paper type, open the PDP again and assign the Letterhead paper to the correct tray and then complete the PDP.
When the printer deploys to the systems it deploys with the letterhead tray showing as an Unknown paper type, even though I can go back into the PDP and see Letterhead designated on the tray. I can usually go into the local system manually and create the Letterhead type and assign the tray but whenever there is an update to the printer I have to manually fix the tray. Am I missing something for deploying custom paper in iPrint?

Hi there Wolf!
I have a couple of articles here that I believe will help you out with your question. First, here is an article with some information on custom paper sizes:
OS X Mountain Lion: Manage custom paper sizes
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10748
Note that in that article, it states:
Custom paper sizes aren’t available for some printers.
The reason for that is because this is controlled by the driver for the individual printer. You will want to make sure you have the latest version of the printer driver installed on your computer. More information on this can be found in the following article:
Printer and scanner software available for download
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
It might also be helpful to reset your printing system to see if that will resolve the issue. More information on this process can be found here:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

PS6; print; PS print settings; color management; printer profile: how to get paper profile to "stick" for multiple prints of same paper type, ie Matte. Mine reverts to Luster as the default.

see question

Hola Gustavo,
your task is for me not quite clear. I can see two scenarios:
a) Calibrate the press for ISONewspaper26v4 ink (your standard process) on salmon colored paper.
    Print the target by press on this paper, measure and build the profile. There is no problem so far.
    But preparing CMYK data with this profile for printing by press requires a very complicated gamut
    compression, becauses the gamut of the actual process on salmon paper is small and excentric
    in Lab. As mentioned in my previous post.
b) Simulate the appearance of press prints on salmon paper, disregarding the salmon color by profiles.
    This shall be done in your case by a toner printer.
    The toner printer has to be calibrated with white paper. As a result one gets a valid Printer Profile.
    The proof printing happens for a CMYK file, for instance a PDF/X-1a file so:
    Input profile: ISONewspaper26v4
    Output profile: Printer Profile
    Printed on salmon paper!
    The printer profiling converts the toner printer into a more or less reliable proof printer. This has nothing
    to do with colored paper.
