Turning off Colour Management in Canon Pixma Pro9000 mk 2 ??

Hi
In the Print area, Lightroom 4 says in italics at the bottom to turn off the colour management in the Print Dialog if you're chosing to print with a profile.
Can someone show me how to do this with my Canon Pro9000 mk2 via OSX Lion 10.7?
Being thick but can't work it out.
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Rikk
Thanks for that. Are you 100% sure though. I'm getting really poor results when I use the Canon Photo Paper Plus Semi Gloss ICC profile (with the right paper!) compared to letting the printer do the colour management. The colours look like they've been worked over twice with a horrible reddy pinky effect on skin tones. It's the same colour problem I had with Windows until I figured out how to turn it off manually.
Also not sure why Adobe would have the message on the Mac version of Lightroom if it was going to turn it off automatically anyway.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Stuart

  • Turning off color managment in Canon Pro-10 printer driver

    Hi,
    I am using Lightroom 5 to print to a Canon Pro-10 printer. How do I disable the color management in the printer driver. I have selected the appropriate canon PRO-10 profile in Lightroom and it says to turn off color management in the printer driver dialogue box but I don't see where / what to do

    "my monitor has been calibrated"
    I hear this all the time.  It is the main reason I don't like all the calibration gadgets out there.  You need to "calibrate" your monitor to what your printer is printing.  Not some spec some gadget thinks it should be.
    You need to know what the bias of the printer is.  In this case Canon has put a reddish bias in it's printers to simulate a warm look.  This condition will not be accounted for in calibration software or monkeys.
    Get your brightness, contrast and grey-scale right and the rest will take care of itself.  You can do the necessary corrections in LR to make up for, or leave as is, the warm tone from the printer.
    BTW, you should be working in AdobeRGB or higher.  Factoid, you can not get every color to match.  This is not possibile.  You are dealing with two completely different mediums.  Light and dyes.  Adjusting any color effects other colors as well.

  • 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.

  • Colour management on Canon PIXMA ip8750-.

    Hi,
    I know this is a pretty specific question but just wondered if anyone could help…?
    I need to turn colour management off on my new printer in order to printer some test sheets for profiling...
    I cannot see anywhere in the printer settings where this can be done.
    I'm running MAC 10.7.5 and I have a Canon PIXMA ip8750
    Can anyone help please…?
    Any advice/assistance would be greatly appreciated….
    Thank you.

    Hi Kurt,
    Thanks for your reply…..
    I will be really upset if this is the case….  I guess I should have checked this before i bought the printer but even my previous Canon printer (cheaper) was able to switch colour management off….  I bought this printer after reading all the reviews and it seemed to be an excellent printer for photographs so it didn't occur to the that I wouldn't be able to get custom profiles for it…  :-(

  • Canon Pixma Pro9000 XPS Driver

    I get good colour reproduction from my Canonn Pixma Pro9000 printer with Photoshop managing colour.    However when using the XPS driver version (which should give finer gradation of colour), this is not the case.  I have been told by Canon that this is because the driver in Photoshop is the basic one, and that I should find the XPS driver on the Adobe site and download it.    However, I have been unable to find the driver.  Could you tell me how to locate it.  Thanks.  John Hallam

    I've just started using the Canon Print Studio Pro module.  It does much the same as EPPPro, which I've used for the last couple of years, but is laid out similar to Lightroom with all the settings down the right hand side and, for my purposes, has one big advantage in that you can save all your settings.  I print albums for my work on A4 with a slightly unusual layout - prints are 270mm wide by 180mm high, centrered laterally but with different sized top and bottom margins and this is where Print Studio Pro scores - I can save not only the paper and print settings but also the layout too, a big time saving for me.  I have a Colormunki and make my own icc files and find I don't need any offsets at all, output is a really good match to the profiled screen. Greys are the only thing which the Pro9000 struggles to match well so, when this printer dies, I'll probably invest in the Pro 100 with its two grey tanks.  I'm hopeful, however, that that time is a long way off.  Apart from the greys the Pro9000 II is a great printer for my purposes.

  • 10.5.8 to 10.4.11 with Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II

    I want to print from my 10.5.8 Digital Audio to a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II that I have attached via its USB2 card to my Yikes! G4 under 10.4.11. I am communicating with the Yikes! via a USB2 WAN wireless device, also plugged into the USB2 card.
    I have the printer setup with drivers on both machines, and have the Yikes! 10.4.11 Printer Sharing turned on for the Canon. Also turned on Printer Sharing under my 10.5.8 Digital Audio.
    On my DIgital Audio I have tried IP Printer setup, using the URL for the Yikes! and the computer's local host name. Everything seems to flow, except the job never starts on the printer. Just sits in the Canon's cue. I see the printer in the Printer lists.
    Any hints? Need more info?

    Its a Westell versalink DSL modem and ethernet router. Has wireless capability, which I was using on the Yikes!, until it looked like I could not use my new Canon printer off the Yikes!, unless I used the hardwired ethernet.
    Not sure why I cannot see the printer from the Digital Audio under 10.5.8 on the Yikes! under 10.4.11 when my connection is via my wireless Airlink USB2 adapter. Maybe Printer Sharing is turned off for the wireless because it hasn't been turned on for it also ... was for the hard wired setup ... thought it carried over for the other ... checking ...

  • How do I turn off color management in Photoshop 5?

    There are three selections, only the first two clickable, in PS5 under Color Management in the Print dialouge:
    Printer Manages Colors
    Photoshop Manages Color
    Separations (grayed out/unclickable)
    Under Printer Manages Colors - there is no option to turn off color management for my Canon 9500 Mark ii
    Under Photoshop Manages Color - there is no option to choose "No Color Management"
    You can chose "No Color Management" in PS3, but not PS5? What happened to this option?
    How is it possible to create a profile from a print of color swatches if I can not turn off color management?
    (I am running Mac OS 10.6.4)
    PS> this is the second time I'm contacting Adobe. First was by phone but I couldn't understand the message left on my voice mail after the phone technician had to ask for help from upper management - the english was so bad. I'm hoping by the written word I'll be able to understand. Please help.

    I have researched the matter a lot and I, 
    along with many others, still have problems with this complicated 
    subject.
    Color management is as simple in theory as Honoring a Source Profile and CONVERTING it to a Target Profile (monitor or printer) for Proofing.
    But yes, we work at the mercy of the rocket scientists who try to dumb an extremely complicated process down so regular folks (like me) can make it work — trouble is I think their approach needs a bit more distilling and common sense sometimes...but it is very doable once you put in the time to figure it out, just follow the CHAIN in your workflow if you're still having problems.
    If you want a "simple button" try staying in sRGB and printing out of Apple Preview app using OEM standard papers matched to your printer and OEM ink set.

  • Turn off color management in printer driver?

    Hello folks:
    When I select an icc color profile in Aperture 3 in the Print dialog box, a warning pops up that says "Turn off Color Management in the Printer Driver." I have an Epson R2880, but for the life of me I cannot find a way to turn it off in the driver. Any thoughts? The Epson Printer Utility is also of no help.
    Thank you!
    --David

    Understanding that I have not actually used ColorJunki:
    -- A printer is always going to have something manage color. Either an ICC profile at the application level, or the printer driver.
    -- The warning is poorly worded. It means "Turn off the PRINTER color management and let Colorsync manage colors." Thus on the greyed out screen you will see that Colorsync is selected.
    -- To use a printer profiler you normally print a target sheet. Your software should tell you what settings to use.
    -- Next you read the target sheet and the profiler makes you an ICC profile of your printer/paper combination. (The same process that Canon, Epson, Red River, Illford, et al. follow.)
    -- You can now use your new, ColorMunki created ICC profile to soft proof your image as you adjust it and, finally,
    -- You use that same profile to print. (Remember, the profile is specific to a printer/paper combination and you will still have to set Quality/Media correctly for the paper.)
    By selecting the correct ICC profile on the first print screen, you automatically kill printer color management and, with a bit of luck, a good profile, and clement atmospheric conditions, you will actually get a good print.
    Trust me on this, I have been getting great prints from Aperture for years. My only gripe is that AP3 no longer lets me at the color options which I used to tweak for my cheap and cheerful Costco paper.

  • Being new to working with Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to the Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll? My husband had gotten this printer and the sales person said that it can be set up wirelessly to my Mac Book Pro

    Being new to working with a Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me step, by step on how to set up my Mac Book Pro(Mid 2012) wirelessly to a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll that my husband had gotten me? Sales person told him that it's compatiable to my Mac Book Pro, Mtn Lion, but I do not see it and I don't see how to do it wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;o)

    Hello:
    There is nothing wrong with asking questions.  There  are no dumb questions....answers, yes, but not questions. 
    If you set up your wi-fi router to establish a network, then both your printer and MacBook Pro will connect wirelessly.  *** I do not know what kind of router you possess, I don't want to suggest things that might not be relevant.

  • How do I TURN OFF power management???

    My computer still keeps going to sleep and the only way to wake it up is to hit the reset button.  I tried enabling the keyboard-wake-up to wake it up, but then it started rebooting itself spontaneously every 15 minutes -- without any warning from Windows.  It doesn't matter whether I select S1/POS or S3/STR mode -- it does the same thing every time.  I don't want S1 or S3 power management.  I want to TURN OFF POWER MANAGEMENT COMPLETELY!  I only want Windows to turn off the monitor.  The BIOS should do nothing!
    How do I accomplish this??????????
    BIOS v1.3
    NEO2-LS

    This is strange - my understanding is you would usually use the Power button to wake the suspended PC...
    Could what you are experiencing be more of a shutdown or instability?
    Is it due to BIOS setting or Windows? Here are some possibilities
    1. What is your selected Power Scheme? Are your options for Turn off hard disks, System standby & System hibernates set to Never?
    2. These BIOS settings work fine for me ...
    ACPI Standby State : Auto
    Power Management/APM : Enabled
    Suspend Time Out : Disabled
    Set Monitor Events
    FDC/LPT/COM Ports : Monitor
    Primary Master IDE : Monitor
    Primary Slave IDE : Ignore
    Secondary Master IDE : Ignore
    Secondary Slave IDE : Ignore
    Set WakeUp Events
    Resume on PME : Disabled
    Resume on RTC Alarm : Disabled
    Keyboard PowerOn Function : Disabled
    Mouse PowerOn Function : Disabled
    3. Does your keyboard have any of those quick buttons for Power / Sleep / Wake ? Could any of them be stuck? (Mine has these in a most inconvenient place - between Delete/End/PgDn and arrow keys, so I sometimes accidentally pressed them)

  • How to Turn off Color Management in Photoshop 7

    Wondering if anyone can guide me through the steps of turning off Color Management in Photoshop 7 so that my Epson 2200 manages the color?
    I've already tried turning off color management in photoshop color settings and also in the printing box.  My photographs print out perfect in iPhoto
    but I am limited in printing size.
    Thanks

    Agree, turning off color management in the color settings is 100% the wrong thing to do.
    Under printer profile, select the DocumentRGB profile.
    NO!  Select the PRINTER profile (and paper type, etc. as needed).
    The instructions you gave will give unmanaged color, and offer no chance for the printer to do it's thing at all.  (guaranteed fail)
    Having Photoshop manage the color, converting to the printer profile, and telling the printer driver to get the heck out of the way is far more likely to give useful prints.

  • Cannot turn off color management on HP Officejet 6500 E709n

    The subject says it all.  I want to create an ICC profile for my HP Officejet 6500 E709n.  In order to do that I need to turn off color management, then print a test pattern.  I cannot find any documentation on the Internet that this is possible for this particular printer.  HP describes a driver that does support this feature, but does not say whether the feature is available for all HP inkjet printers, just fior Photosmart printers, etc.
    I am running OS X 10.7.5 and have driver version 4.0.1 installed.  Can anybody verify that, on Lion with this version of the driver, the option to turn off color management is available for some printers (I suspect Photosmart) but not for others (e.g., Officejet)?  I have no option to install another driver, as Apple's Software Update determines the drivers required and installs them automatically.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    It may be that you can't turn it off. In my quest for a color laser printer that didn't cost a small fortune, I first tried two somewhat cheaper models. In both cases, I had checked the documentation before purchasing the printers for the same reason as yourself. There were settings on both the printer and in the driver software to disable color management and any type of auto color control.
    In neither case did those features actually work. After profiling, color wasn't even close to the monitor, so the printers were still doing some sort of color modification of their own despite being set to none. These were color laser printers in about the $275 range. As you get into anything cheaper (including of course the deluge of dirt cheap inkjet printers), they are essentially impossible to profile. These door stops are targeted at users who just expect the printer to kick out a page with an image on it.
    For a color laser printer, I originally went with a Xerox 6280DN, which is a toner model (I was purposely avoiding the models that use solid inks). That one profiled perfectly. The 6600 is probably the closest current available model to that.
    However, you're looking at inkjet printers. I know some users try to avoid Epson, but I've always had good luck with them, and the output is outstanding for the higher end models. Their cheapest professional model is the 17" 3880 at about $1200. Add $200 more for the Designer Edition, which is the same printer bundled with the EFI eXpress RIP Software.
    One of the nice features of this model is it uses their newer head. We have a Stylus Pro 4900, which replaced a 4000. The difference is night and day in ink loss. The 4000 regularly churned through a good third of the ink spent on that thing just trying to keep the nozzles clear. A very large waste of expensive ink! The 4900 still does clog at times (all inkjets do), but nowhere near as often, and it clears with less waste.
    As an example, the 110ml cartridges for the 4000 averaged $60 per color. We'd go through at least a couple thousand dollars of ink a year, much of it lost to keeping the thing unclogged. With the 4900, which we've had for a year and a half now, we still have two of the original 80ml starter cartridges in it. The replacements you buy for it are 200ml and should last a good two years or more. In other words, the cost of ink per year dropped by about 80%.

Maybe you are looking for
