Then I looked to using ICC profiles from Aperture. What I got was darker, greyer, flatter and generally looked like something the cat puked up. Some reviewers said it gave them exactly what they saw in Photoshop. If the results had been good, I would do a screencast on using the plugin, but as you'll see there is no reason to do so. You can select non-Canon ICC profiles with the plugin, but the UI is lousy so you'll spend time looking. (HINT - don't look for it anywhere near Print). It's a plugin for Photoshop that allows you to leverage the Canon print engine, albeit through a goofy model. I found a few things.įirst is Canon Easy-Photoprint Pro. My whole kit was stolen in April while I was in Barcelona so I had current SW as part of the replacements. So I started working through that bucket of software that comes with Canon DSLRs. Despite making great gear and passable software, let's just be polite and say that they weren't very helpful. So after wasting a lot of time and a lot of paper, I finally turned to the web to discover, hey, I'm not alone, lots of folks find the Canons print too red. But my prints from everything looked a little bit red. I had my screens calibrated with a Huey Pro. I had all the right ICC profiles, I had current drivers, I had current versions of Aperture, Photoshop and LIghtroom. But following the purchase of the Nik Software Complete Collection, I've been printing a lot to validate that what I am learning is actually resulting in better images. Sometimes it's just a lot cheaper and less time-consuming to have my stuff printed commercially. I'm kind of like a lot of photogs I meet. So, I switched to Canon Pixma Pro, choosing the 9000 in my case. Hey everyone! I was a devoted Epson printer user in the past but moved away to Canon because I grew really weary of the printhead on the R printers jamming up when not used daily, turning a nice machine into a boat anchor.
