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 profiles for Canon i950

    Hi,
    I am using Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.3, CS3, with a Canoni950 printer. In attempting to print CD labels using Avery Click N Build 3D software, I have also historically been unable to find the printer profile that is compatible with my set up. Even after serious color correction episodes I can never get a print that represents the truer colors on the monitor, especially the Reds. Can someone please help me with the profiles? Also, am I supposed to check the Allow Photoshop to determine colors or the printer? Thank you.

    Allan,
    First questions...is your monitor hardware calibrated? How is the quality of other printing (from Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.)?
    I'm thinking that if this is a problem specific to printing from the Avery software, you should speak with Avery and ask how you should set up your files for printing through their software.

  • Need printer driver for Canon imageclass D320

    Anyone direct me to a printer Driver for the Canon Imageless 320?
    Canon support says none available.
    Macbook pro under Yosemite.
    thanks

    Canon never made an OS X version of its proprietary driver "CARPS" that is used by the D320. And the Canon driver link provided above is just for Canon inkjets - there is no support for your model.
    If you want to print to the D320 from the Mac, you would need to install a virtual machine application like VMware's Fusion and then load Windows 7 into the VM.

  • 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.

  • Printer Profiles for Epson R260

    I need to download UCC Printer Profiles for my Epson 260.
    But the website doesn't list any.
    It does show profiles for the R2200.
    Where are they?

    Geoff & Jao,
    Evidently Epson does not generate ICC Profiles for the R260, just for the high-end printers like the R2200.
    The Epson R260 driver has selections for all kinds of papers and different levels of preset quality and manual settings.
    I have tested a lot of them.
    Using Lightroom and Printer-managed color, all pictures are dull and lack-luster.
    However, Lightroom has a profile for the R260 series; and with Epson driver set for ICC, pictures are good as PSE5 using ColorMatch RGB and Qimage with Epson drivers. I am using plain Photo Glossy paper and I don't know how the Lightroom profile knows which paper I'm using.
    I searched in my PC for /Library/Colorsync/Profile and didn't find it. Do you know where it is in a PC?
    Jao says to turn off color management in the driver. OFF seems to be bad; choosing ICC seems to be good.

  • Profile for Canon G10 to simulate Olympus E-3 colors

    I want to create a profile for Canon G10 which will simulate Olympus E-3 colors.
    I performed the following steps, but the result is very disappointing:
    1. Photographed a GretacgMacbeth ColorChecker with a G10 and a E-3, in the same light conditions (Open shade) in RAW.
    2. Converted the RAW files to DNG with DNG Converter 5.4, all default settings.
    3. Opened the E-3 DNG file in Profile Editor. White balanced by right-click on patch #19. Set Base Profile to E-3 Adobe Standard, Color table 6500K, 'Both color tables'.
    4. Set 18 Control Points, one on each color patch, #1 to #18. Wrote down the HSL values for each.
    5. Closed the E-3 file and cleared everything.
    6. Opened the G10 DNG file in Profile Editor. White balanced by right-click on patch #19. Set Base Profile to G10 Camera Standard, Color table 6500K, 'Both color tables'.
    4. Set 18 Control Points, one on each color patch, #1 to #18. Wrote down the HSL values for each.
    7. Noted the numeric difference between the HSL values for each patch in the G10 file, vs the E-3 file.
    8. Corrected the HSL values for each control point, by the numeric difference between the two files.
    9. Saved and exported with a new name.
    Obviously I did something wrong, because the result is BAD!
    I'll appreciate it if someone could help and point me in the right direction.
    Thanks,
    Moshe

    I'd like to add two observations about my above experiment:
    1. If I change the values of a Control Point using the sliders or the point on the color wheel, the preview changes, but much less than the change of the slider. Say, I change the H slider to -10, the change in the preview is only -2, or so. Is that how it should be?
    2. If I hover with the cursor over a color patch in the ColorChecker preview the values change, probably due to noise, and it's difficult to decide which is the correct point. I didn't find an option, like in Photoshop, to set the sampling size so the value is an average of several pixels in all directions.

  • Lens Correction profile for Canon 18-200mm IS

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a profile for Canon lens EF-S 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 IS - I can't find it in Lightroom and at the moment I'm using a profile for similar lenses from Sigma and at first glance it looks ok, but I have to manually find that lens at each photo, which is quite annoying.
    I'm sure there's lots of people using same lens (as it comes included in Canon 50D PRO package which from what I hear is very popular), so maybe someone actually took an effort to create the profile using Adobe's lens profile creator?
    If anyone has got that profile handy, I would very much appreciate if you could send me a link to where I can download it from or simply contact me.
    Thanks cheaps!
    Tom

    You can choose "Save New Lens Profile Defaults" from the Setup popup menu, which will remember your choice of profile for the given {camera,lens} combo. That way you won't have to keep selecting the profile manually in the future.
    Or you can create a preset.

  • Tokina 12-24 F4 Lens Profile for Canon 500D

    Dear Adobe Support Specialist,
    I found a Tokina 12-24 lens profile for Canon 450D in this Forums but I am using Canon 500D.  Please kindly advise if it works on 500D too. If not, will there be one soon for download.  Look forward to your soonest reply

    Hi
    I'm not the Adobe support specialist, but I made a lens profile for my Tokina11-16 by using EOS kiss F.
    The profile works well on my EOS kiss X3 too. Thus I guess the prolide you found is also fit your 500D.
    Why not try the profile you found. you can check the profile works well or not.
    kiss F = 1000D, kiss X2 = 450D, and Kiss X3 = 500D.
    Regards

  • Lightroom 6 doesnt have profile for canon g16? Any ideas?

    Lightroom 6 doesnt have profile for canon g16? Any ideas?

    I found the answer to one of my questions.  The ruler for the screen dimension is part of the Profile Maker. These are good instructions.

  • Printer profile for non canon paper

    Is there a list of profiles for Epson, Kodak, OfficeMax, etc photo papers?

    You would get custom profiles from the paper manufacturer website, or, if they don't have custom profiles the recommended Canon profiles to use (I am assuming you are using a Canon printer.)

  • 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.

  • Printer Dialog for Canon S9000 Printer

    I dug out my large format Canon S9000 printer and am having trouble color correcting the photographic prints. Part of the trouble seems to be that in OS 10.6 I don't seem to be able to get the printer dialog box from the printer utility. When you go into the printer driver all you get is Canon S9000 in the box and I don't seem to be able to get into change any of the driver settings. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    spinosaurus wrote:
    I did download the latest driver for the S9000 available, although it is updated I believe only through OS X v10.5 and not 10.6.
    The driver update is for 10.6. If you have v10.36.2.0 installed then at least there should be some level of comparison between my setup and yours.
    I talked to Canon support and they told me that Apple writes the printer drivers for the OS systems and not them.
    This is not true. Canon creates the drivers and provides them to Apple so that it they are available via Software Update.
    Since you are using the same driver from Canon, maybe you could answer some of the following questions: What color space do you use for importing your photograph, sRGB, AdobeRGB, ProRGB, etc.? What color space do you use for viewing your photograph? Do use any ICC print profiles to print?
    For the photo that I used to test, it was taken on my Canon EOS7D and imported using Image Capture. The Get Info for the photo shows the colour space as RGB and the colour profile as sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    For printing I selected the Canon profile to match the Canon Photo Plus Glossy, which is shown as GL3/SG3 in ColorSync. When PS was managing the colour this was selected via the PS print dialog > printer profile. When I selected the printer to manage, I used the Quality & Media tab to select the paper which in turn sets the profile, as seen in the Color Options menu.
