Hi Ted,

In your PM to me, you said:

Quote:

Make sure your Canon is set for Srgb, no color managemnt and photo paper

Not sure I understand, as this does not answer the question I asked concerning which Media Type selection to make based on the paper I am using.

My question is: If I use Ilford Galerie Smooth Gloss Paper, what Media Type selection should I use for printing in the menu on the Main tab - Photo Paper Pro, Photo Paper Plus Glossy, Glossy Photo Paper, Other Photo Paper, etc?

Could you please explain why to set the Canon for srgb, no color management? We had talked about this before and you had agreed my settings were correct. perhaps I mis-communicated them to you. Let me list them again so you can verify whether or not they are correct:

1. In Photoshop Elements 3.0, I create an image file as follows:

a. Mode: RGB Color
b. Color Settings: No Color Management
c. Saved Files: .tif format with ICC Profile: RGB Color (1998) checked, and No Compression

2. When I select Print, I have the following settings on the Print Preview screen when I check Show More Options:

a. Source Space: Adobe RGB Color (1998)
b. Print Space: Printer Color Management
c. Intent: Relative Colorimetric

3. When I select Print > Properties, the Canon Pro9000 Properties window appears with the Main tab showing. The Settings there are as follows:

a. Media Type: Photo Paper Pro (if I use the Ilford Galerie paper, what paper setting should this be? )
b. Paper Source: Auto Sheet Feeder
c. Print Quality: High
d. Color/Intensity: Manual. Upon selecting the Set button for Manual Color/Intensity, the Manual Color Adjustment Window appears. The settings there are as follows:

i. Color Correction: ICM (Windows Image Color Management) Question: should this be set to None?

ii. Input Profile: Standard. Here I have 2 options: Standard and Adobe RGB (1998) when ICM (Windows Image Color Management) is selected for Color Correction. If Color Correction is None, the options here are not available.

iii. All other settings are the defaults.

Ted, I hope this gives you enough information to tell me where I might be going wrong and what to change my settings to, if applicable, to get the best color match between my Display and Printer. Thanks for your help.

Almost forgot. When I calibrate my monitor, I use the Adobe RGB (1998) color profile in Adobe Gamma, not an srgb profile. My monitor allows me to calibrate using this profile as a starting profile, and this is the one that is saved at the end of the calibration. I use the same profile to calibrate my scanner.

I am going to have to talk to you by phone again. I have used a colorimeter (Spyder Monitor) to calibrate my monitor, not Adobe Gamma software that comes in the Adobe program so I use SRGB instead of Adobe RGB. I also use Photo Paper Plus Glossy and I make sure that all color managemnt is turned off completely. Your media type, paper source, print quality are okay. Your Mode of RGB is diferrent from mine which is more general and wider. Set Color correction to none. Your settings are never going to be the same as mine because of my use of a colorimeter and your use of the Adobe software in control panel.
When I have time, I will change my settings so that I use what you are doing and see what happens and how it looks.
I'll get back to you on that.

Thanks you, Ted. I'll try what you suggest. I'll look forward to hearing more from you on this later.

As you might guess, Canon has now designated the Canon Pro 9000 as a serious amateur printer and the newest offering the pro 9500 as a professional printer. if the Epson printhead goes bad, you have to pack up the "Epson" and send it back for replacement while the Canon heads can be changed by the user himself.
