You saved my day ... after moving from my Windows workstation to an M1 Max MacBook Pro I blindly trusted Apple with the available PRO-100 driver and it drove me nuts for hours. Fortunately I quickly found your video about the Canon IJ driver, and after installing it I had my proper color sync back and the prints are coming out beautifully. Thanks a ton from Austin, TX!!

I have wasted expensive paper, cursed, and agonized...finally, I am getting good prints!! Thank you for this!

Seriously thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I've been feeling one step away from throwing my printer out the window, and thanks to your video I have FINALLY gotten color-accurate prints from my Pixma Pro!! You're my hero, dude!

I've been following your saga & I'm so thankful you posted the updates. I have a different Canon printer but the same issue and doing the airprint finally fixed it.

Omg I cannot thank you enough! I’ve been fighting with this printer and photoshop to print correctly and watching many how/to videos. Yours worked within minutes and the difference is SO obvious!!!

I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am to you for making this video. Because of you, my printer lives to see another day and I can stop crying. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Thank you Jarred! You saved the day. Me and my wife have been struggling with this issue for most of the day. So glad we found your video because it solved our problem.

I am here to say your video saved my prints! Thank you so much. Once I downloaded and installed the Canon IJ Network Tool, I had to wait for the IJ network to pop up before I could select it. It took about 30 seconds to a minute on my network. Before I downloaded the IJ Network Tool, my photos were either lacking color and life when I selected "printer manages colors" or my photos had a magenta hue when "Photoshop manages colors" and I selected the proper paper. Now the photos look exactly as they do in Photoshop. Thank you again!

Jarred - I can't thank you enough for posting this video. I have had my Canon Pro-100 for over 2 years and have used it only 2 times because of the horrible print quality I was getting with the setup I had. I searched everywhere on the internet to find how to set it up correctly and your video is the first that has the correct setup process. I had no access to the color management or other options in the print setting until I installed the drivers you recommended. The print quality is exactly what is on my monitor now. Thanks again!!!

I have stayed up for days screwing with this humongous paperweight in my office!! The colors weren’t exact but a whole lot closer than they were!! It may also be that there was no regular rosin glossy which is the only small photo paper I had laying around. Most of my stuff I do on regular sticker paper and the colors are INSANELY off. I’m thinking it might be too much printer for regular sticker paper! But it is so much closer with the exception of a peach slip n slide came out more of a pink. But holy cow what a difference.

Just got a Pro-200 and was using Secure Airprint. I noticed that in the printer settings, there are several ICC settings for Airprint. None of them worked so I had to turn off no color correction. I then saw your video and did not realize there were printer drivers for Mac so I went to their drivers page and sure enough, there it was. I installed it and I do notice a difference.

Thank you very much for this. I can't remember but I think I installed my Pro 100 with IJ at the beginning (18 months ago) as it's too far away for USB but nevertheless I did it again and this time I let Photoshop Elements manage the colour but the MAIN difference was the selection of 'Perceptual' which you kind of glossed over. Until I did that I got the same old dull yellowish prints but that made my red's red rather than orange. I'll have to do more experimentation. Unfortunately it seems that 'printer adjustment' isn't available in Elements (and any Adobe subscription model is way too expensive for the number of photos I actually print - it starts at over CAD$400 per year). Is there a way of adjusting brightness for printing that I haven't found?

@phototocanvaspdx

2 жыл бұрын

You can uninstall and reinstall using the IJ with wifi at any time. Its very easy. Perceptual and relative should have very little effect on the prints. You can do your own research but perceptual is essentially trying to match what is on screen and relative is more trying to get accurate colors of what they should be. I use perceptual for photographs and relative for artwork. You can adjust brightness within Lightroom or Photoshop in several ways, from the brightness in the print module or the exposure of the photo. Again I know nothing about Elements as I have never used the software.

After searching the net I came across an article that says if the AirPrint version of the printer was installed that it would remove the profiles. It was and it did!

Then download and install the driver and add the USB and IJ (as you also advised) but do not add AirPrint. After doing this I went back into LRC and the paper profiles were visible. Whew!

If it is installed, in the Lightroom print option you have to tell it which profiles you want to be present in the drop down menu. Very important that your monitor is not set too bright or your prints will always look too dark. I wouldn’t go above 50% brightness. Keep in mind the image on your screen has a light behind it and prints don’t. Dark images are definitely the hardest to print and often require some trial and error. Printing in Photoshop lets you apply black point compensation which is helpful with dark prints.

@@phototocanvaspdx Thanks for the reply Jarred. Very nice of you. I did see you other video on printing setup from Lightroom and I'm solid on set up. It's only print quality I have an issue with. I did color for offset printing for 20+yrs, so I'm very familiar with color. I do have my monitor brightness turned down and I calibrate it regularly using the Spyder 5. Per the video, I deleted all my printers and only installed the new Canon 100 IJ print driver. I'm printing (4) photos at a time, getting 4 up on a 8.5" x 11" sheet for efficiency. In LR Classic, under Color Management, the only options are "Managed by Printer" or "Other" Under Other, the options are Canon 100IJ color print profile or Canon paper selections. I'm choosing the semi gloss although I'm using HP photo paper. I looked up 1/2 versus 3 and Canon site said lower the #, the better the quality, so chose 1/2. Quality is getting better, so thank you, but it's not there yet. I've printed over 15 sheets so burning through paper and ink, trying to dial in the color. It's very frustrating. But really do appreciate this video as it's getting closer. THANk YOU!!! My Instagram: norashootbeauty

If you simply export your image from Photoshop or Lightroom, and then print it using any non-adobe program, the printer should work fine. Seems it’s Adobe software causing the issue.

hey, i've tried your method but the colours still arent accurate. I use a mac pro retina display with a canon pro-100. I reached out to canon and they talked about changing the photo from an RGB to a CYMK but doing that didnt change the inaccuracy of the colours. Printing on lightroom gives my photos a blue tinge where when i print with the same settings on photoshop, the colours are different. Different but still inaccurate! The issue is, i know my printer can print accurate colours because I've done it once, but couldnt repeat it and it has been quite frustrating trying to do something i've done before. I feel that the colour range in my prints do not match my edited photos. if you have any thoughts on why this is please dont hold back on sharing! your videos have gotten me closer to a more accurate print but I want to make them perfect!!

Its odd to have prints coming through different colors with those programs, though I have had the issue. I have not however when the printer was hooked up via USB. Did you check your printer preferences to make sure the pro-100 is only in there once? For a long time I used USB but it had automatically (I think) set up another copy of it via bonjour. There was no way to differentiate them aside from the fact that they had slightly different icons in the dock when I was printing. After I discovered this I removed the bonjour version and renamed the USB version with USB in the title so I wouldn't make the mistake again. Give this a shot!

Apple products are a lot more complex, or it seems so coming from a pc. PC user here. Print from LR6, color matching, = none! = means LR or software controls color. Monitor is calibrated, = no problems. Usually a on monitor to print match. Once in a while a couple of little tweaks when going for perfection & trying new non Canon papers from sample packs.
