Just purchased the canon pro 300 after watching many of your videos the last few days. It’s arriving tomorrow. Very excited!

The only fix is the either take an empty PBK Cart and Fill IT with MBK ink. Or print in Fine Art mode but accept the 30mm wide borders. Or print with QIMAGE Ultimate and with IT you can choose to not print with that imposed border. But...you would still need to print using a Fine Art Matte paper choise and feed through the manual paper feeder. On the PRO1000 you can disable the margins in the driver.

You laptop screen requires calibration for color brightness and contrast. Print the Standard image. Do not edit it. Simply open it in your editing software and print it. In your editor's printing module choose to let the printer control color. Make sure to print on an EPSON paper. In the P800 driver choose that very paper in the media menu. Since you are on a MAC the driver color management should automatic. You should produce a near perfect neutral and correct density print. Compare that to your monitor display of the same image. If it looks different on your screen then you know it's the screen that is not displaying that image correctly. All MAC Book need calibration. Without a calibrated monitor you are unconsciously editing your images so the appear correct but since your screen is not correct...well you can guess the rest. The printer simply produces what you feed it.

Why even compare "near perfect result using the driver" when you can achieve "perfect" results using icc profiles. Profiles are the only logical way to go. All you're doing here is spinning out yarn for more stats on your channel.

For you and me. But I can provide you with hundreds of my viewers who would simply love to just use the driver and with OEM inks and papers as I used for this demo it will be hard to see the difference. Remember I am not considering non Canon or EPSON papers or other inks. When using OEM inks and matching papers and ICM as the color mode, the drive uses the correct ICC profile any way so it will be a match to using the ICC profile letting the editing app control colors. Where using the method I demo of tbis video comes in handy is when one prints with OTHER third party paper, inks or custom profiles or any combination there of.
